Oh also according to reports KLD has personally been convincing Xhaka to come for weeks now. He and his family was going to stay at Leverkusen. I Can’t see us binning the deal off over the sake of 5 million or so.

don’t think we’ll bin it off but we might be patient and wait a while to save 5m

We binned off Lauriente for less! £5m is still a decent chunk even in our new reality:emoticon-0102-bigsm

Think Xhaka is a much bigger coup than Lauriente mind.

There are plenty of exciting wide players out there who would suit our system.

There are very few 700 game professionals, 137 at international level, who raise the bar for the rest of our squad like Xhaka probably will.

Not to say we should be impatient, just that we shouldn't be too hard nosed over what is a relatively small amount of money

Or he might be good but we still go down. Or he might be unable to play major minutes ahead of other players. Or he might be outright poor. Point is, that’s money that isn’t coming back regardless. So we simply have to stay up for us to get away with the signing regardless of performance. At least with other signings there is a safety net.
You really dont want him do you. Just back the club

Or we just sell him to Saudi after a year for 20m, no worries.

His agents were trying to to move the goalposts , the deal was agreed the player was happy but I reckon they wanted a bonus which we would not pay and walked away which I totally agree with though I feel sorry for the player who was let down by his representatives . This is a totally different deal to us wanting to sign a player that could make all the difference in us being able to stay in the Premier League and the cost of £5m will be a drop in the ocean - money well spent!!!
