I don't think there's such a thing. Although he is no longer championship, I note Liverpool I think it is have been quoted £15m for Robertson.
Championship teams will be upping their prices big time now due to the increase in Sky money but also due to the success rate of the likes of Creswell and Antonio.
Tore is looking very close with that Muzzi bloke and another Turkish agent tweeting about it. I can't wait Tore cutting inside on his left with Antonio bombing past him. Anyone know how much of a defensive/workrate shift Tore puts in?
It's been annoying me how ,if you believe the internet rumours, the way the club appear to be making what I think is public overgenerous bids for Batshuayi and Lacazette, but in this case a high bid for Batshuayi could allow OM to make a "loyalty payment" to one or more of the other three above and encourage them to sign for us and hey presto ,everyone is happy (except other clubs wanting to sign these players).

He puts in a shift in his attacking position - ie, he'll defend from the front. He doesn't get back so much to defend though. Feghouli would be better for that.
£25k isn't a lot for a player of his alleged repute. However he has to show that he deserves it. If true I am looking forward to seeing what he can do. We need those strikers though.
