We're not a charity. Come on, he's a 36 year old who did his knee in who's on a one year contract, let's not go crazy and sign him up for next season on £15m next season when he probably won't be the same player ever again. Love the guy but it's not like the rumours were out there he wouldn't sign if we didn't make CL next year.
We'll support him, pay his expenses after his contract ends and if he is fit then sign him on a contract until the end of the season next year as he should appreciate what we're about to do given his contract is due to run out.
He is the player we should have signed 5 years or so ago and he would be our god, one season is basically Larson where we were grateful for what he did but come on, let's not go crazy.
But if you're reading this God, I love you and believe you'll come back stronger than ever and please don't punish me for speaking my mind.
