Why would you put a price on him, are we looking to sell him?
Someone explain?
Krul.

It's Ashley putting a price tag on him to get as much as he can for him, the same as he will do for Ba. The bloke is a very astute businessman who is just looking to make a profit on as many players as he can. Some Newc and some bury their heads in the sand. Luckily for Newc they have a brilliant scout who gets them good players dirt cheap so Ashley can continue to do this.

This. Every player has their price - whether you agree or disagree is irrelevant.
Obviously the Sun have no idea whether it's £15 mil or £150 mil, but if the right offer came in, we'd sell.

I don't think he's put a price on anyone. Why would he? Can't start an auction etc that way. Carroll was never set an asking price of £35m. Either way we all know club's policy now is pretty much what we've done this summer and it's worked this year. Can never build a squad like that though!

"Carroll was never set an asking price of £35m. "
Two weeks before we sold Carroll, Redknapp got asked whether he was still in for him. He said he couldn't afford him. To be specific: "You are talking £30million to 40million." Pretty spot on considering!
Ashley has a minimum price for every player, he wouldn't tell anyone it, otherwise they wouldn't bid any higher, but he has a price for sure.

Would you sell Krul for £20 mil?
