I could understand a deal with a purchase obligation and not an option in the summer.
I could understand releasing a foreign player to bring quality CB or LB to help us immediately
But what was urgent to release an HG LB on the last day of January when Mendy can't stay fit for 3 days in a row. He was our only LB who can actually cross a ball.
People here talk about the 25 m option, what if they decided not to buy him in the summer?
