This deal is looking certain to go through. To be honest it’s a good deal for both parties. We are getting 4 million and 70 grand a week of our wage bill. He is our highest earner. They have offered him a lucrative contract and he wants out. So not to have a disgruntled player we let him go. The Saudi window shuts tonight. If he does go he goes with my best wishes, he stayed when others wanted out on relegation been a model professional and we have plenty of cover. Ivanovic, Bartley, O’Shea, Ajayi and Zipre. So it’s good luck big man.
