AgreedThe deal was a roll of the dice, he goes to Barca and tear's up the Camp Nou and we get £30m, he doesn't and he comes back and he can put the dreams of playing again for is hometown club behind him.
He either signs a new deal and commits and is integrated back into the squad or we get our money back in the summer. At least the limbo is over.
This as much about how we treat players and been seen as a pathway to Europe's elite as much as it was about the potential income.
Oh and we have no way of knowing if retaining him would have got us into Europe next season
