I read he has a release clause, which is why they’re just standing firm. As has been repeatedly said, if we can’t afford him, go elsewhere. Is it me or would it make a far bigger statement if we just rocked up and bought him, like the actual big 6 are.
£60m allegedly. I just think they make these noises about being big then they try and posture and it makes us look petty. Not saying negotiations aren’t important but why are ours playing out in public, when Chelsea and Spurs (recently) just get it done.
