teams from the lower division would ask a club like LFC for £1m for a full back from Rochdale who had played 10 games. I mean Forest rejected £5m for Andy Reid and say he is worth £10m, A few caps for Ireland doesn't mean much ( I'm Irish, I should know - Staunton got over a hundred for F sake.)
It is their own fault for being greedy, I have no sympathy for clubs in financial trouble, if you go abroad you can get better deals like Josemi at £2m.
Football has changed and there aren't many Ian Wrights or Les Ferdinands coming up from lower divisions.
