Again, why would a club, knowing we're fucking desperate to shift him, on that walrus contract, be willing to give us nearly what we paid, and to boot, going to pay him £200k pw, over 5 years?
Villa wanted him on loan, to be a rotation player to juggle league and EL. They got a far better player as an alternative who's cheaper , and done far more than this sorry sack of shit.
Clubs will say they'll take him on loan, possibly with clauses that turn permanent, based on appaearences/success. But like with Elliott at Villa (who's also a far better player), clubs will freeze him out when it gets anything close to pony up time. In reality, a newly promoted team/fighting relegation side will take him on a straight loan at 50% wages, even if that because £100k pw for him is still absurd. I'd bet my life he'll be our highest paid player next season and won't be there. Or...... Worst case scenario, he doesn't go anywhere.
You're living in cuckoo land.
