Anyone else feel that 14 million for afobe is a ludicrous price?
As much as I rate the player he's essentially had half a season in the championship.
As important as he is to us, Personally I would happily take 14 million. With Rhodes on his last year of contract and players like Le fondre and dicko in the squad our strike force could still be a huge threat.
14 million would also allow us to strengthen the wider areas and the defence and give us a real big chance at a promotion push.
Just a personal thought.

would they spend all of or a big chunk on team building though. I somehow doubt it unfortunately.

Have the club actually come out and stated that Afobe is available for 14 million? Jackett has said he is not for sale and who would not beliee our Kenny.oops.
Is there also a sell on clause for Arsenal?

no sell on clause & I would take £14m, as long as it's reinvested - Dwight Gayle, Harry McGuire & Albert Adamoah

Nobody knows where the 14m came from. Probably a guesstimate by a journalist. Is he worth that? Look at it this way - would Wolves pay that for a player who this time last year was almost unknown? And has played just half a season for a club who didn't get promoted? Probably not, so that makes it hard to resist if someone offers it.
These clubs presumably have problems up front and they would need to pay at least 14m for a young, proven premier striker. So worth them taking a punt on Afobe??
