  - 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
