The valuation wasn’t clear until we bid £6-8m for Britt which we valued him at which Forest reaction to that was he was worth more and then Middlesbrough came in and was interested in his qualities and offered £15m for him which Derby decided they couldn’t match that incredible offer and pulled out of the deal to get him and therefore Middlesbrough sealed the deal for Britt.
