let him go he aint bigger than the team
as far as money goes i doubt we would get close to 50m in my opinion more like what we paid for him teams will look at his track record as far as throwing his toys out.
while he is great on the field who would pay 50m for someone who will likely fall out with the club or manager in 18 months
£50M should be the asking price, with negotiations allowed to bring the price down AND a part-ex QUALITY player. However, let's not forget this fella is making about £1M PER MONTH, and that will go a LONG way to fixing some of the annual costs going forward.
We ARE a high quality team now, so the NEED to pay big to attract talent is OVER!
Anyone want to play for one of the top teams in Europe in the best league in Europe, for some of the best fans in Europe and the richest owner in the world????? Any we should have to pay EXTRA to entice people?! Fuck it! Come for that or stay the fuck out of our way!
