Having said that, if he has been playing the agents "holding out" game then not much we could have done and fair play if he goes this month to a bigger club.
In terms of value, we got 175k rising to 225k for Baker. If he were contracted for longer, I think Duffs would be realistically be worth just under that 175k figure. As it is, we may only get a "token payment" of only a fraction of that.
you having a laugh
30 or 40 k max
