Does it explain Vertonghen's release? Did he want to go or did we bin him? I heard that he wanted a longer contract than we would offer.
In one of the early episodes he comes across as being 50-50 as to whether he wanted to stay or not. Can't remember the exact dialogue but he didn't seem as 100% hopeful on staying as I initially thought he was. I guess the longevity of a potential contract did come into play though, he's signed a 3 year deal with Benfica and that'll take him to 36, I reckon even if we definitely wanted him to stay we would've offered a rolling contract or maximum of 2 years.
