I don’t know why people have a problem with DW selling players for less than what he has said he values the player at. It’s just the way the transfer business is carried out these days. Previously in the days of the arbitration panel the selling club would ask for X million, the buying club would offer Y million. The panel usually just split the difference.
DW, knowing Charlie wants to go, wants to get the best price he can. He probably valued him at 10 million but publicly declares he wants 12. Birmingham probably valued him at 10 but offered 8 guessing that we accept 10. Both clubs are looking to save face by having made the other change their respective positions. It is, however, all an illusion.
Well, that’s now two of us who understand the transfer market. :)
Everybody else will catch on soon enough, don’t worry
