Firstly, all that the Bolton chairman has confirmed is that the total fee is 'approaching' £6m and that there are various incentives and sell on clauses included, which more likely than not are allowed for in the £6m. Secondly, if Madine scores some goals and gets some assists leading to us getting promoted then this will be worth in excess of £120m to the club - hardly us being 'shafted good and proper' is it. Worth a gamble by anyones money and that is probably what Tan decided. Thirdly, exactly what do you expect to buy for around £6m in this transfer market - Hughill went to West Ham for £9m yesterday and his scoring record for Preston is worse than Madines for Bolton (a goal every 4.5 games as opposed to every 4.2 games for Madine). Get real and stop critiscising everything than Tan and Warnock do.
