Yeah, I’d forgotten that was a key factor. Thanks for the reminder. Still can’t get our pursuit of Slabhead out of mind though. We have the benefit of hindsight but Dias looks a miles happier fit as well as far better value.We hit on Benfica dropping out of the CL and needing to balance the books. Sometimes opportunities present themselves.
