It suits both parties, especially if we are bringing in a replacement.
Regardless, the price is ridiculous imo. We need to take lessons from Wenger on how to get a decent fee for a player who is in the last year of his contract.
I'm not convinced that we didn't want him at all. That is just your opinion. We had offered him a new contract hadn't we? Basically we sell low and buy high time and time again. Bottom line, if Swansea can get over 6 million for Scott Sinclair with the same contract situation then I think we can safely say that selling NDJ for 3.5 is a steal for Milan. How hard is that to understand?
