Only official bid has come in from Burnley so far.

It's unlikely that it's due to the exchange rate because it would seem strange if we put a euro release clause in his contract. A £ release clause now is the same as a £ release clause was 2 weeks ago.
I suspect we put a relegation release clause in his contract and that's why it's lower than the amount we reportedly paid for him

Meaning Evil are saying Marseille can't afford Gana so they're looking at Carlos Sanchez instead.

Discount deal for both?

Who said he actually cost £9m in the first place? Then you have the fact that some of the fee was probably add ons. Take into the fact he's scored f-all and only played a max of 40 games then he's probably not triggered them either.

Why get only one useless defensive midfielder, when you can buy one and get one free. I said you buy one, you get one free.

I must admit I've always had more patience than others with the boring, five yard pass defensive midfielders. I think Sanchez is a fantastic player until the ball, or an offensive midfielder come anywhere near him.

We probably paid the fee in Euros and quite possibly the release clause is the same as the fee paid, but given the loss in value of sterling if a deal happened we would lose out just based on exchange rates.

Hendrick would be more useful to us than having both Gana and Sanchez on the pitch. If we can get rid of that pair of numpties and sign someone like Hendrick with drive, determination, passion and reasonably talented, then those are the kind of players that will get us promoted at the first time of asking.

Marseilles are clearly a club after my own heart when it comes to shopping.

'They haven't got it here, we'll need to go to a couple more shops.'
'Fuck that. I'm sure I'll find a suitable alternative here.'

They are worse than us in selling key players.

Sold Andre Ayew, Thuvain and Payet last summer and went from 3rd to nearly being relegated.

Already sold Batshayui to Chelsea this summer.
