The opposite is also true. Dortmund are not negotiating with Mark Bellingham. And I don’t expect the career map would do all that well if Jobe gets Allan Johnstoned. We hold as much advantage as we want to hold.yeh this was my point yesterday. People think we hold all the advantage here but we don’t. Our player can make it clear he wants to leave and has already chosen where. Of course he has a contract but we aren’t the kind to hold on to players against their will, we’ve shown that.
We should absolutely stand as firm as we can but there’s no way Dortmund pay 40m euros and there’s no way Jobe is staying with us so the compromise will have to come at some point
) and any other club interested should be told the release clause is there for a reason and he has a contract with the club that he owes everything to (and not the other way round).
