Since then, we've gone from assuming fans would start going back through turnstiles very soon, to realising we not get fans back in before spring or so. That changes club's financial positions, and for example Preston might want that 5m a tad more now. Guesswork admittedly.Having a quick reread of old stuff, Cook's sell-on clause is apparently 40%. So if they bid £8 million we'd only get £4.8m.
Considering Preston knocked back our bid for their mid 20s centre back with zero PL experience in a deal rising to £5 million, I don't think £8m is anywhere near a sum we should be considering for Cook.
