Exactly, a fragile beast, it was one of Harry's "jobs for the boys" sweetheart Spurs deals - he probably got a side cut from Levy for taking him off their hands.

As if we don't look unprofessional enough, we have a £10m player we at not communicating with about his contract situation, after our own bungling administration errors!! Incredible!! Someone needs a severe bollocking!
I'm always inclined to give our new and newish recruits every chance and a good number of appearances to prove themselves but, given the fee and his likely high wages, I think Sandro is one I'd be prepared to give up on right now. To be fair, it's not that he's looked a complete disaster; in fact, he has put in one or two useful performances. However, in our new, low budget mode, he's not shown nearly enough to justify that initial transfer fee and the on-going wages. Nevertheless, in order to maximise the cash flow benefit, I think I'd rather sell him than loan him out. If only we can find someone gullible enough to take him....
