Obviously that's mental. How did they get to £9m? Doesn't that mean that Brentford first had to turn down offers like 5 or 6 million? That's as mental as Bristol bidding in the first place.
They must be stopped! I'd expect Boro to match that bid as they're after another striker and money is no object for them either. It's a gamble to splash cash like this which is still paying off for QPR, I'm surprised more clubs aren't 'going for it'.
One season of league football in his career and City think he is worth £9 million? Absolutely nuts.
Just read this on his Wiki page:
'He was the subject of reported transfer interest from League One neighbours Milton Keynes Dons in May 2014, but the Dons baulked at his £300,000 price tag.'
It seems no fringe Premier league striker wants to go to Bristol City so they've turned their attention to up and coming 2nd division strikers and as insane as it seems, that does appear to be the going rate.
They are paying for not having a decent Europe wide scout network I guess? When you think about it, even with some of our few duds, we've still uncovered Ulloa and hopefully Hemed for a fraction of that £9m.
