I’ll be sad to see him go because I was absolutely buzzing for this signing. (And the Mhki and Depay signings). Transfers really aren’t working for us at the moment. However I think it’s best for all parties just to call it quits. Get the highest earner off the pay bill stop everyone looking to his contract as what they want. The fact his contract drops by 25% because we aren’t in Europe probably makes him a more realistic proposition for other clubs now and I think he will come good wherever he goes next. He’ll look good in Italy. He did well for Udinese and maybe he’d like to finish his career where it all started for him in Europe and despite his career he’s only won one league title so to go back and pick up one in Italy is probably an attractive option.
However Juve have Ronaldo on £500k a week. Ramsay on £400k a week. Surely they can’t add another ridiculous earner to that list and keep everyone there happy. It’s rumoured they want Pogba, Lukaku and Sanchez. Have they not seen how poor we’ve been this season?
