There is no way on earth we would get anywhere near what Butland went for.

Bentley has no experience other than with us.

It would be incredible to get a million, I doubt we would.

Supporters have a habit of overvaluing their players, which mean a lot to them but not as much to others.

Look at Eastwood, we had people claiming we would get 4 million for him. He had Championship experience scoring 16 goals for a team at the bottom of the table, he went for 1.5m, well under what many thought we would get.

In hindsight it turned out to be quite a good price, considering he struggled to get goals in the Championship.
