I appreciate if what he wants is beyond what we can pay, then there's probably not a lot we can do about it...
But from a footballing point of view, I think he's been our best player since he came in. I think him and Dike would've put fear into opposition defenders as a duo. For me I'd be looking to keep him and save cash by offloading some of the dross we have on long term contracts.
Having said all that, it might be him who doesn't want to stay. Who can blame him with the service he's had since joining... or lack of it. And he must've been annoyed on the occasions when Bruce dropped him when he was our best player too. I guess they never had a strong player - coach relationship historically.
If you can believe reports, I get the impression he was enjoying his time with us and wanted to stay. I’ve no idea what money he wanted but I can’t believe it was astronomical. The problem is that we’ve tied ourselves into long contracts with bang average players
Very true...
Whoever identified and sanctioned the Ken Zohore transfer really stitched us up. But I guess he's just one of many.
