Because the club want to sell and will do for whatever they can get before the end of the window. He keeps spouting no bids to remind clubs that he is still for sale.

He doesn't though - he's always talking about Everton (in the Everton forum), in this thread he is talking about transfers and money he perceives to have been wasted, and in the Koeman thread he takes a dim view of the activities of ... er... Koeman.
He's simply too good at arguing for the people trying to contradict him.
Anyway, on to transfers - centre forward needs to be an established Premier League goalscorer so Benteke, Giroud or Vardy (puke) the only viable options.

I get what you're saying mate but it's a dangerous game bluff. If neither side give in, which happens a lot, everybody loses. I can see this happening at Southampton with VVD and Liverpool with Coutinho. It get's to the stage where the selling club can't sell because they have no time to bring in replacements. We're pretty much there now. In the current climate (certainly in England where clubs have the TV money) the selling clubs hold the upper hand, but could still be left with a disgruntled key player to deal with. Hopefully this happens with Coutinho. It's the buying club that usually have to fold in these cases and end up having to pay a premium for players they really want.

Dave moaned about Moshiri and questioned about net spend. Then he moaned about the gross spend when he slated Koeman for wasting money and must get top 4 while totally ignore our desire to rebuild a bottom half squad left over by El Fraudo.
So I asked him about his opinion, on a few occasions regarding his hero giving £20m to a relegated club for 2 players in 2013. What is that worth in todays market...was that a waste...he denied to answer.
He's 20.

A suggestion about anyone being wound up about Davek. Tell him to watch the last Liverpool-Everton game under Martinez. And to keep watching it until he's learnt from it.
Any talk of players being 'too expensive' is redundant and simply demonstrating a lack of understanding of capitalism. People like @AdaBrummieblue get it spot on.
There's no objective 'formula' for calculating a player's transfer fee, simply what buyers and sellers will agree on.

Agree with this. But I don't see why we couldn't have done this at the same time as pursuing Siggy. I don't necessarily believe one issue has caused the other. Whatever the reason it's disappointing that we still haven't sorted out this very important area with only a week left.
Would actually rather we loan somebody than waste money on buying a forward that isn't of the quality we need. Problem is, I don't see many around who would be available on loan. In fact, I don't see anyone.
