Whether correct or not have been informed there has been an offer for Billing, £2 million, rejected, possibly Watford. £2 million? He won't be going anywhere if that's the type of offers coming in All part of the master plan and the reason he downed tools and told everyone he wants out, immediately slashes the fee and makes him and his agent £s. Not surprised the offers are pathetic, I’d love it if the club showed some balls and let him rot in the reserves. I think we need to get used to pathetic offers, particularly for players who have expressed desire to leave. Nice way to repay the club that has given you everything. |

He won't be going anywhere if that's the type of offers coming in Personally, do not think that any premier league player is valued, even by the buying club, at 2 million.. therefore I conclude that this is bollox.. I have no idea what Billing is worth to the club or his suitors but in the insane world of football, Watford or anyone else who does not wish to be laughed at or just plainly told to go 'fuck themselves' would not put forward a silly offer such as that.. not sure you would ever be more sure of the price than of the actual club that 'offered' it?  strange at best.... |

Maybe its 1993 in Watford?
We should offer them Billing and £1m for Deulofeu.
Fax the offer to them.

Could see some chancers offering 5 or 6 million. Seriously hope we don't end up selling for any less than 15. Despite what plenty seem to think of him, that would be cheap for a player with his Premier League experience and undoubted potential.

To put figures in perspective Pritchard was nearly 3 years older, barely any prem experience ( a couple for spurs as a kid and a couple for WBA as a sub ) and bought for what ,, £13m or something?
Flo cost about £5m FFS !
Billing is younger, has worked his way up into the Danish senior squad, and has something like 50 prem apps, often being singled out for rave reviews.
So I doubt clubs are thinking £2m might tempt us!!

By his own words back in March or so, Billing indicated that he has a few suitors (both in England and abroad); so if Watford have offered 2m, then they're "'avin a Turkish". At the risk of being spectacularly wrong, I'd say he won't be going for anything less than 10m.

It's like if you try to sell your house and it's borderline valuation, you'll probably end up reducing it to increase the potential of a sale, same with Billing. He hasn't been playing for whatever reason and I think that's a big mistake on Town's part. I once had a job in a managerial role and I had a lad who was my best worker but could never get in on time and a bit of a maverick but as he was my best worker I turned a blind eye to all his faults just because he would work like a bastard for me and never let me down. Maybe Town should have been turning a blind eye? |

I think we all knew Reading doesn't rate Billing without the ridiculousness of the opening statement.
Unfortunately for reading, some more qualified observers do. Expect him to leave and unlikely to be worth less than 15m to Town, whichever way they make the package, eg appearances etc

"I once had a job in a managerial role" tells its own story. Probably a reason why it didn't last. |

Maybe Town should have been turning a blind eye? If your best worker had been offered a much higher salary elsewhere, and just had to see out his notice period, do you think he would have been as good? Would he still have put the effort in? Would you still turn a blind eye if he couldn't be arsed and made it clear he didn't want to be there? |

Expect him to leave and unlikely to be worth less than 15m to Town, whichever way they make the package, eg appearances etc Don’t think we will get above £3m (if we are lucky) Hughes only cost Watford £6m and he had far more potential than Billing has shown. We will just have to wait and see. |

Bit like saying we'll have to wait and see if the fee for Mooy is paid in oxtail soup. |

As the season developed Billing, on here, went up from £2 million to £25 million....even £50 million was mentioned.
It is laughable...he will have a non-career and do zip.
Some idiot will come along and buy him for £10 million next month...thats a gimme.
That does not mean he has made it.
