He's being priced out of a move to about 99% of clubs because they clearly want to keep him, which is fair enough. The market is still utterly bonkers though and stuff like this is part of the reason.

Also - the fee we're asking for Branthwaite is more than reasonable either way. Como's fee for Diao really isn't.

Best will in the world, mate, I can imagine the posters on Grandio Oldio Teamio saying the exact opposite thing.

Footy maths never works. Players are worth what teams are willing to pay. I won’t disagree that the market is crazy these days, but Como are minted and have no need to sell. We’re almost certainly perceived to be desperate so this is the inevitable outcome. Swerve him and onto the next one.

'We need to replace Jack Harrison' and 'we've needed a quality RW at the club for donkeys' are two different statements - agree?

They're different statements in that they use different words, but the meaning is ultimately exactly the same. We need to replace Jack Harrison because he's the bloke who was most recently playing right wing for us. His name is irrelevant, nobody means we need to replace him because he was so good, they mean we need to replace him because he played loads of games for us over the last 2 years and he's gone but nobody else has come into take his place. Seriously like, this is properly simple stuff that people are struggling with.
