Thought it was. If we are getting the Brighton lad on loan we wouldn’t get another youngster to take up the other loan place, i wouldnt be surprised if 1 loan position is being left for a GK?
We also want rid of Tall Paul but are refusing to accept peanuts for him. We won't just give him away.
The difference is ABK is clearly disruptive and will play no part this season whether he stays or goes. He wasnt even allowed to travel to Spain with the squad.
I suspect we will take a lower initial fee on ABK but try and put a few clauses in the deal. Additional payments when he returns to the Germany squad, a cut of a future sale, etc.
