Because we valued him too low. If we'd valued him at 25m someone would have bid 20m by now. After all villa put a price of 32m on Benteke and someone paid it in the end. After all he has a better scoring record than all but 3 premier league strikers, and a better injury record than Aguero, Costa, Benteke and Kane.

Cheers mate, really interesting.....see most of them will have to really go up a gear in transfer spending to bring in charlie. Hes not cheap to the sort of clubs who would buy him, hes cheap in terms of monies spent to the big clubs but they dont seem to deem him good enough.Comment

I think we have priced him really intelligently, its above the range for the lower to mid quality sides and the sides above that wouldn't consider him a luxurious enough signing. Only managers I can see going in for him to be honest are Sherwood and PocchetinoCheers mate, really interesting.....see most of them will have to really go up a gear in transfer spending to bring in charlie.
