Pescara told Italian press they have given up on John because he's "one step away from Sunderland" (on loan). A great move in theory, I just hope the option to buy is not true, what benefit is there in that? If he has a storming season his value goes up, so even if we still sell him we can get more money. If he has a bad season Sunderland won't buy him anyway. Don't repeat the Caicedo mistake, I beg you City.
