Good points but I disagree to an extent. The rags, at the moment, have everything going for them in terms of trophies / success but they could receive some bad press / seen as being in decline in terms of having to sell off their best players to service the debt. That is why I firmly believe they will not allow us to have 'our' day in terms of the press getting all worked up about us and us stealing the headlines of us having signed one of their best players. I think he'll receive that amount of money to spend to make his stay a permanent one, of course on the assurances that with Ronaldo gone he receives first team football on a regular basis and that he is a key player in whiskey noses plans. I just cannot see him making the same mistake he made when he sold Jaap Stam and David Beckham. It just wouldn't make sense.
