List the talented young players this happened to.Nah. He will always pick an average senior pro over a talented young player unless he has no choice.
"And as reported by Solhekol on Sky Sports News on Monday evening – somewhat reluctantly – it will take a bid higher than that for Everton to sign him in the summer.
“What does surprise me is the size of the option,” he said. “I’ve been told what the price is but been asked not to reveal it.”
The Sky Sports reporter was then pressed on spilling the beans, to which he said: “I can’t… but the option price is significant and is more than Fulham were willing to pay for him last summer.”
Blimey it sounds like 25-30 mill...
Agree totally mate.We need to move away from thinking £25 million is a lot of money tbh. That’s Brentford money.
I know Moyes has said several times that we aren’t in the market for £60 million players, but if we have genuine European ambitions, then we need to be, as there are 8 clubs that are in that market.
I wonder how much McFadden would cost these days?We need to move away from thinking £25 million is a lot of money tbh. That’s Brentford money.

He's 42 and his last game was 8 years ago in the Scottish Championship. Pretty cheap I imagine.I wonder how much McFadden would cost these days?
That's more fool palace thoughAgree totally mate.
Look at Palace today spending £48 million for a player who has scored one goal , and is on the bench for Wolves.
I do like this method of "road testing" talented young players , with an option to buy.
Excited over this signing , as he gives us another type of option as a striker also.
And if he's decent then other clubs will come in for him unless we have first dibsAt a wild guess I think Chelsea will want north of 25 million in the summer for him
