    If we sell him next summer I will be disappointed if we don't beat the 25m we got for Tierney and Jota and O'Riley becomes our biggest transfer fee received.

    O'Riley is worth more because he has the England homegrown premium

    You might be right. I am not sure but I thought he was closer to 25m. Either way IMHO we should be looking for O'Riley's fee if he is sold this summer to be a record for us.

    The good thing for us is that he also hits the home trained quota for English clubs in Europe..

    Girona are on a wild run this season, but they're not a big spending team, we'll be looking for a near record fee when O'Riley goes, their biggest spend is 7.5m euros, doubt there's anything in this unless they have a massive influx of money coming from somewhere.

    Girona are having their Leicester season. Don't be tempted Matt, hold out for a team you deserve

    Celtic hope to recoup their fee paid to MK Dons.

    BVB, Liverpool, Milan and others were all noted to have interest in him even before he moved here. After 2 successful seasons and European experience, Girona would be a pish move.

    I don't see him pushing for that. Win the league, finish the season as POTY, then go in the summer, or even next January pls.

    They are owned by the city group, so they are fine money wise.

    They're still not a big spending team, city have just under a 50% stake in them, not a sugardaddy owner * money away on them.

    I don't know, mate. A la Liga title race under an exciting young manager. I think that will be a tough one to turn down if we accept a bid! I think if they offer enough money, we'll accept it; and I honestly think that if we accept it, he'll choose to make the move.

    Let's hope the bid doesn't match our valuation.

    Even our board are not stupid enough to sell our best player in this window and it certainly won't be to Girona
