I don’t believe this. We paid £30m for Pedro so that doesn’t make much sense financially. The bigger issue is if a ‘glamour’ club comes in and offers to triple a player’s wages and the player agitates for the move like Caicedo. In that scenario I’m not sure how much the club can do, beyond...
I agree with this BUT we had fair warning this was likely to happen in the January window and the best we could come up with for a replacement was Baleba. Who I think will be a very good player but quite clearly wasn’t ready - don’t think he’d ever played a whole 90 minutes in 1st team football...
