MANAGER Sam Allardyce issued a stark warning from the Reebok today about the Michael Ricketts transfer request.
He said: "We have now accepted Michael's transfer request but that's not going to make us let him go for any less than our valuation and nobody's offered any real financial deals yet. It's all about player-exchanges.
"And it's the financial aspect of things we have to be interested in, first and foremost, before we consider looking at other clubs' cast-offs."
