well yes but then if we thought he was good,

certainly as good as we were being told he was, then a fee of £1.5m shouldn't of seemed so silly? no?

I'm against any clause unless its very very silly i.e. £10m for Dickson.
Simply because it allows the agent and other clubs to force the transfer on us, and removes any control the club (and therefore the manager) has over their players.
Which leaves us in this situation where 2 players may be going in a week when we've started the friendlies and should be working on nailing the squad into an 11, not looking to fill 1 key position in the first 11, and another key position in the squad.
