And possibly with Gayle and Gray. We supposedly offered stupid transfer monies to Palace/Brentford and then offered the players wages that were well short of what they expected.
WE DONT KNOW and likely never know unless junior or someone comes out and says .."we tried to con them" .
I would imagine LT is just waiting to see if he will get a better offer elsewhere. The greed in the game now is sickening.
Its not waiting for a better offer that is the issue. Its the level of money involved. Its about time wage caps were introduced and that some of the tv money generated was filtered down through the game to the grass roots.
Thing is it's impossible to do. Who decides what the wage cap is? Based on what? All of the talent will just go abroad if it's paying higher. I admire the sentiment but it's impossible, not to mention most likely illegal.
Why do you think that continental teams would be interested in our over-priced under-skilled players ?

Tomlin and Diego de Giroloma both signing. According to a possibly unreliable post on another City forum.
