Sorry Martin, that has gone over my head, is there no way we could sign him bypassing the compensation, as I understand both Leeds and Aston Villa are sniffing him.
Seems a lot for a player who is injured and, as we all know, struggled to even get on the bench for Wednesday when fit...
Doesn’t compensation only apply if he was offered an improved deal? I suspect they did offer him an improved deal but has this ever been confirmed?
If fit, we’d be way down the pecking order anyway.
He’s injured, which is why he didn’t sign for anyone in the transfer window.strange situation. SW did not deem him good enough to play him. He maybe believes he is good enough to play but is not prepared to stay and prove it. Nobody either wants him or is prepared to pay for him.
Maybe simply he is not as good as he and some members of this board think, or is there any other reason?
