And, without wanting to be seen as impatient, I do think the longer it goes on with Xhaka, the less likely we are to get him.
That's because I think bigger, more established clubs with more money may come in now that his availability to move somewhere outside of Saudi has been mooted.
It really feels like one we had to get done quickly and quietly to surprise people.
And PS if anybody reads what I've posted above and misinterprets it as me personally being impatient, you're completely misunderstanding my point.
