But what if we keep him without signing a contract, we do poorly next season, and lose him for free, meaning we can't afford a replacement.
According to some we've got a £200m stockpile of cash, so that would mean we could afford to replace him.
Yes, we do have that money, but we can you see the board dipping into the reserve money to buy someone?
Their hand may be forced to do so. Personally I see no value in selling RVP this window. I think we'd struggle to find a replacement and we'd be weaker next season. If Pod and RVP help us to win a trophy, then RVP may well sign a new contract anyway. That said, he might even do so this summer.
RvP is running out of options, Juve have moved on, Citeh can't afford him, and Barca don't want him. The only possiblities are re-signing with us, or Real Madrid, who have Benzema and Higuiain, so he's not guaranteed to start.
This is what i've been saying on this forum, we were damn lucky to get that 3rd. We had so many things go for us to get that 3rd place that you have to laugh.
