right. So according to TheFineCity

Derby have "just bagged themselves a 20 goal a season striker for an absolute bargain" - £3.5m.

and yet when we signed him, other teams were only willing to pay £2m.

What's changed?

        So you disagree that he isn't a 20 goal a season striker? (n/m) (NCFC) - TheFineCity, Jun 29, 16:11:29
        
        too many negatives (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 29, 16:23:12
        
        West Brom weren't playing him, were they? So he got frustrated and all (NCFC) - Old Git, Jun 29, 16:06:49
        
        If his goals keeps them up like west brom... (NCFC) - phrankin, Jun 29, 16:04:26
      - because he's a light weight, I will be shocked if he scores above 10 next season. (n/m) (NCFC) - lovely old job, Jun 29, 15:59:33
        
        Me too (NCFC) - Fozzybear, Jun 29, 16:06:57
- without the clause we may never have got him (NCFC) - raretek, Jun 29, 15:53:26
  - bottom half of the chump is my guess... (NCFC) - phrankin, Jun 29, 15:55:03
    - at least we didn't get relegated (NCFC) - raretek, Jun 29, 16:00:51

  - You seriously doubt a 20 goal a season striker wouldnt go for 7 million or so (NCFC) - TheFineCity, Jun 29, 15:54:20
    - depends how he does next year (NCFC) - mr carra, Jun 29, 15:57:43
      - It's not very likely is it (NCFC) - TheFineCity, Jun 29, 16:00:54
      - Stupid decision to go to Derby. Career for him possibly over. (n/m) (NCFC) - tim berry, Jun 29, 15:59:19
        
        His 14 goals helped keep west brom up. Even more stupid decision to stay here. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jun 29, 16:01:50
        
        but no-one else in the Prem was interested (NCFC) - mr carra, Jun 29, 16:01:12
        
        Which makes me think 3.5m is a fair price. (n/m) (NCFC) - tim berry, Jun 29, 16:04:55
