When we first offered him a contract he did want to be here but we didn’t offer the right deal. I take it’s gospel that we wanted to make him 1st/2nd highest player because Spiers said so? Don’t believe that for a second.
I think he would have been up there with our top earners. Said it from day one, we dont underpay players we want to keep under Fosun, its just not what we have ever done. He just either wanted much more ( which i still dont believe his performances here deserved ) or he just wanted to leave. Either way, he's done well enough in Spain so far for us to hopefully to be able to move him on if we have been scammed by Barcelona.
