    Our board are skint and not signing any players, then we signe players.
    Our board are skint and about to have a fire sale, none of our prized assets are sold.
    Our board are too greedy to accept reasonable bids.

    Disgusting. Sad.

    Or still wanted by our manager and with no financial imperitive to sell he was made available only for a premium price?

    Why the desperation to make this into a bad news story?

    I think somebody greedy to recoup their investment would have bitten Villa's hand off if their offer was even in the ballpark iof that reported.

    Cannot believe we rejected 1.5m for Dale Stephens.

    Footballs gone mad.

    I can't believe the rejected bid was 2.6m, we could've recouped 100% of the fee we paid for Jeffers all those years ago.

    We'll probably never know, but I suspect Villa tried to get him on the cheap. We obviously had our valuation and stuck to it. Well done to the board. Be interesting if a fee is announced for Westwood. Might give us some idea of what was offered for Dale, as presumably Westwood was the cheaper option.

    Indeed, especially considering insiders said we needed lots of money just to keep the squad together. Since then we've reportedly rejected bids for Clarke, Stephens and Solly and signed Fuller.

    1.5, 1.8, 2, 2.5, 3 million .. any advance on 3 million ? .. by 23.00 we will have turned down 25,000,000 for superstar Dale Stephens.

    After donkey's years of selling our players at knockdown prices (with some notable exceptions like Scotty and Baby Bent) - it's good to see the Board having the balls to hold out for what they felt was an appropriate price. And not caving in when Villa made what sounds like a take it or leave it offer.

    Very happy if Dale stays with us. Of course he will have wanted to go to a Prem club given the chance, but I'm sure he will be a good professional and continue learning and improving with us.

    I will be giving him an extra loud cheer if/when his name is announced next time he plays for us a the Valley.

    I heard we wanted Darren Bent back as a makeweight in the deal but he was worried he would not get an automatic first-team place.

    What are the board thinking??? 4.2 million bid rejected from Villa. Makes no sense...

    But just think what we could have done with that 5 million from Villa! Madness.

    PS. Glad you're staying, Dale... if you are.
