Because it's clear we're getting ripped off here

If I were negotiating this deal, I'd have started off at ?6mil and come down to a bit fairer a price. Right now, ?1mil for England's 3rd keeper is chicken feed, though.

In the circumstances I think we need to be tough and stand our ground and not capitulate to ridiculous terms like it currently appears we're doing.

        I didn't say I'd seen all 30ish appearances, I was remarking that he made 30 ish (NCFC) - pants, Aug 14, 11:42:05
        
        oh and btw (NCFC) - pants, Aug 14, 11:47:39
        
        You very rarely get on my tits. (NCFC) - InTheAbsenceOfAHorse, Aug 14, 11:47:13
        
        What is it about today that has annoyed you? (NCFC) - pants, Aug 14, 11:48:34
        
        No...... (NCFC) - InTheAbsenceOfAHorse, Aug 14, 11:52:40

        Didn't he only start one or two games for Man City though? (NCFC) - Brom, Aug 14, 11:11:47
        
        Yeah, he was getting appearances in at a high level (NCFC) - pants, Aug 14, 11:15:24
      - Don't talk cobblers....... (NCFC) - InTheAbsenceOfAHorse, Aug 14, 10:46:56
        
        I agree, Green isn't in that much demand though (NCFC) - pants, Aug 14, 10:49:17
        
        That doesn't mean we sell one of our best assests for a fraction of the price (NCFC) - LincolnshireCanary, Aug 14, 11:03:41
        
        Isn't it the point that Green wants to play at a higher level too? (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Aug 14, 11:07:55
        
        Yeah, that's why we're entertaining the idea of the transfer (NCFC) - LincolnshireCanary, Aug 14, 11:21:16
        
        I think that's that's optimistic (NCFC) - pants, Aug 14, 11:28:27
        
        Well... (NCFC) - LincolnshireCanary, Aug 14, 11:41:22
