We should offer Wham 15 Million (absolute max) for the pair, take it or leave it in time for them to have a few training sessions before we visit Pompey. And they can't be cup-tied.
Otherwise they can go bust.
If we offer too much to Prem clubs we'll be playing against our own money too much of the time.

We've ruined him.
