No. No it wouldn't.
We'd still be better off than last season.
How exactly are we better off than last season? CB wise that is. Same qiality and depth as last season, but a hell of a lot more games (potentially)
His contract is up next summer, he will have to get realistic sooner or later.
I know, but he'll still ask for silly money. A lot more than we're prepared to pay for a player in the last year of his contract.
