13m? Sounds good to me. My favourite player to watch but gotta do what's best for the club.
We won't do much better for the last year of his contract.
We will if clubs like Monaco come through with their offers.
Were you also saying the same thing when we bought Nasri for 24mil on the last year of his contract?
For what it's worth, I hope he extends his contract. People saying he's greedy and selfish, I assume, are already biased against him, or have not watched him play last season. The amount of through balls he placed were as high as Silva, not his fault that the receiving player then does not do anything with it. Yes, he was selfish in the first two seasons with us, but then again he was also the highest scorer for the club. Given everything that happened last season, he's the third-highest goal-scorer, and top in assists.
Slows the play down? In many matches, he was the only one doing the attacking. His goals-to-shots ratio was shit last season, but that's probably because he was trying to do too many things at once.
If he leaves, I wish him all the best, at least then we can be sure to get Cavani at any cost, because not many players can be considered an upgrade on Tevez..
