Our negotiating position isn't great though is it?
It's fairly well known that we want to get rid of the player and the player want's to leave. We also know that Inter are pretty much the only team interested in him (I've not seen anything to suggest otherwise) and they aren't exactly loaded. I really don't think are going to get a much better offer. It's also in our interest to try and get it done sooner rather than later.
Him going would mean we can replace him with a better more suitable option, get his 200k a week wages off the bill and also not waste the summer haggling over a few million when it's clear all parties want the deal done.
Agreed.
I don't see much of an issue with paying the majority in two years personally? You'd hope we have the money (and sense) to reallocate some extra funds forwards in order to replace him now.
I think a total deal of £70m would be fair, and think it'll reach that eventually.
