I’ve been thinking about what to do in my work life for the last year and I’m giving myself another year to get something sorted.
You don’t just make life decisions at the click of a finger!
This is the biggest decision Leroy will ever make in his life. He’ll be weighing up absolutely every scenario that could come from all four decisions he could make (have a full career at City; stay at City until the next contract comes to a year left when he’s, say 26; stay at City until his final year of this contract; or leave this Summer).
He, and his agent and family, will be thinking about all aspects of football from: “how long will Pep be at City?” “will City sustain their top side status when Pep goes?” “will the Premier League bubble burst?” “will any other league catch up to the Prem?” “is it even worth leaving the Prem?” “would Germany be the league to go to if I am to leave the Prem?” “do I like Manchester?” “do I like England?” “how much money will I earn from this next contract?” “when will I be able to negotiate again on the new contract?” “will I earn more elsewhere?” “will I play enough at City?” “will I play more elsewhere?” “what will I win at City?” “what will my status be at the club?” “will I win the Balon d’Or with City?”
