“I think £20m is a bargain if we can get him playing like he did last season for us! That would be unreal!”

“If this is true (which it probably isn’t), I’d happily take him back. For our best player in the second half of last season, £20 million would be an absolute bargain. Hopefully we ‘edge closer’ to signing him.”
