We got 3.5m(rising to 6 or so dependant on appearances etc) for cresswell from west ham and he was their player of the season by a distance. Mings is younger, taller,quicker and potentially more talented so I think 7m is reasonable although I'm obviously deluded. I think he'll end up at centre back quite soon. Really hoping Newcastle go down as quite a few of their fans probably do also....

Cresswell was a bargain for West Ham really. He had a bit more experience before being sold, so the buyer knew they weren't getting a one season wonder.
I'm not saying Mings is a bad player at all, but he was rated lower than Craig Forsyth statistically for his position this season and I don't think I'd expect to get any more than £1m if we ever sold him! If Mings has another standout season then I'm sure his value will be closer to £7-10, I just don't see anyone gambling that much on him this summer.

£7m for Mings?! He's had a good season, but fuck me, that's an optimistic price tag.
I hope QPR get punished for their complete disregard for FFP rules. I'm sure there are others who are operating beyond their means too, but we're well run now and our accounts add up quite nicely.
