Quite, see my response above.

He would not take the come down in wages or status or play second fiddle to JPM.

And we would not have him as a makeweight as we will notortune be selling any player to them.

However, imagine him saying he is happy to be a squad player on £50k p/w without any player going the other way, just to be part of our new journey and stay in his native London (as opposed to spending one season in Saudi for £billions..?). Unlikely, in extreme, but I could be persuaded (for what that's worth).
