Would be good to see the board use some business sense

offer reading 500k to sign him, if they really only do want 300k. They would snap our hands off. Persuade Leroy to stay at CR by saying min fee release clause in his contract 2m. He would be more likely to stay then, and if he does well and we do have to sell him for 2m we've made money.

  - Offering ?500k for a ?300k asking price? Good business sense??!! (NCFC) - Yellalee, Dec 19, 09:45:53

      - mate, it would only make business sense (NCFC) - Charles21, Dec 19, 09:56:12
        
        but it would cut out the competition to sign him and we would get a 2m striker for 500k (NCFC) - Tony Martin, Dec 19, 09:57:58
        
        he aint worth 2m anymore - depreciation/credit crunch (n/m) (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Dec 19, 10:07:17

        if they are selling at 300k, offering any more makes no sense (NCFC) - Charles21, Dec 19, 09:57:18
        
        But they're not selling at a fixed price. (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Dec 19, 10:02:19
        
        I'm not saying it's a bad deal. ?500k would be a great deal (NCFC) - Charles21, Dec 19, 10:08:54
