Surely we're getting more than that?
A year left on his contract and one who clearly doesn’t fit what the manager wants. It’s better than him leaving on a freebie next year and clogging up the squad. We can’t have it always, moan that we don’t shift players on then still moan when we do but not for the fee we want. Sometimes you have to cut your loses and we are getting better at that.Ridiculously low fee for a player of his quality.

His Mum’s French and he’s fluent in that language.Really thought he’d end up in Italy/Germany or Atletico.
Surprising. Don’t think of France as a very competitive league, but I also haven’t watched much football from there.
I think that’s it though, when you look at how much we paid, and I thought we were getting a bargain at £15m, to get a couple of mill short of that with him being in his last year and not in the managers plans then fair enough.A year left on his contract and one who clearly doesn’t fit what the manager wants.

I’m curious what the people who think it’s a ridiculously low fee think the fee should be?
Considering we signed him for £15 million, he doesn’t appear to be on our long term plans and he has a year left on his contract I think the reported fee sounds about fair for both clubs. I thought we would get about £10 million for him so it sounds like it’s slightly more than I thought we would get.
