[maddix]

Middlesboro' have slapped a transfer fee of .... wait for it.... £ 9 mill !!! on Adam Johnson (according to Daily Express) . He's a free agent at the end of the season FFS !!

They know they wont get anything near that, but, with man city interested putting that price on him isnt a problem.

[Goddard]

Lee Cook had a £10m "price tag" on him. Just bluster and bravado.

It's not Ebay.

[Easy]

He will go for around 6 million otherwise he can wait till the summer and then get a signing on fee himself for around 5 million, i know what i would do

Thats for problem with todays inflated market.Championship teams put high prices on any player these days(apart from us)which is why some of the bigs clubs get cheap foreign imports.More so African players...Not sure what came first....cheap imports or CCC clubs put high prices on players.Trouble is, not that much money coming into lower leagues so they try and extort as much as possible, especially what poster said above...Man City coming in means they will double their value.

No, there not mad, there trying to ward off buyers, but if city want him he's there's, thats how it works, the football food chain.

[Funky]

Man City are interested and the board are making all the right noises.

His fee will probably be around 4 million with the rest dependent on other clauses.

Gareth Bale and Theo Walcott went for big money from the CCC, which is why it's so important to keep hold of our good youngsters, if possible.
