I'd rather have two of the midfield three sitting and mopping up (one if we are against a lesser sides) with the other four (possible fifth floating inbetween) having the freedom to attack and interchange as they like so long as they get back into shape / press the ball when we lose possession.
where did you get that info from?, Im just worried about what bayer said about getting him back for the same fee if they want.
It was floating around when we signed him... Can't see us agreeing a deal which would guarantee Bayer can take him either.
The clause staes all 3 parties MUST be in agreement about move. Us, the player and Bayer. All we have to do is say "not happening" like we would with any other player, although they could make us an offer we couldn't refuse much higher than the clause fee if they were desperate to get him.
The Germans think we have made one of the coupes this sumer and loads at Bayer are just gutted to have lost him to us. I think he has a really bright future for us and the German National team.
