I always said, and I think everyone laughed, that he should be 150m," Hammers boss Moyes said. I think other players have been sold for close to his price and I don't think they've touched Declan's level of performance.

The other thing is Declan is English, an England international, and he's 25 now so he's still got another six or seven years of his best years still to come.
So, I think in time maybe we'll look back and think it could have been more. But let's be fair, I think most people including the media, everybody, would have said it was a really good price for Declan at the time."
