On his day is a match winner -  though fades in a 90 minute game - if lack of fitness and Pulis looking for a winger, why didn't he give him as much attention to get fit as B'no ?

At £13m bid for Schneiderlin, I doubt if we're doing business!

I heard it was £17 million? Am I wrong?

£13m hardly 'smashes' the club record, as quoted....

I read it was £17m but can't remember where.

I'd also read/heard £13million which considering that Manure have already talked about recouping what they paid for Schneiderlin, positions us way off the mark. Still, this is the Albion negotiating position, why should we expect any different? Offer a "paltry" sum that will clearly be laughed off the table, lose out to another team that actually offers close to or equivalent to what is being asked and then wonder what happened. Finally, sign a free transfer who no other club wants but who is cheap. And I thought the days of "Jeremy's negotiating manual" had been binned. Clearly, someone bought Donald Trump's "The art of the deal" for Christmas.
