Not a chance we would've returned to him start of this window if he wasn't interested. I reckon the agent and our club have had communication going since January's approach about him signing

Yes 100%, although I don’t like hearing about agents having so much input. Remember Anelka? He had his brothers involved iirc and they burnt plenty of bridges.

I actually don’t think his statistics are that impress and if he is to wanting to hold out for a bigger club - compare this attitude to Bruno’s or targets then screw him. We’re better off without imo

If he’s not sold on the club even after the way we finished the season then it’s not footballing reasons, as in the direction of the club. Maybe he feels he won’t get enough game time.

 

Its coming across that he’s panicking as soon as a transfer gets close, he still is just a kid after all.

Chronicle?

 

They printed a story the other day “Henderson linked with Newcastle” - upon reading the article it said Enrique thinks we should buy him.

 

how the fck is that being linked with the club?

If so, he needs to grow a mustache and join us, it'll be fun!

Looks very raw this kid (is only 19), and with a bit of an edge (broken leg and jaw incoming, in next few years!) . The whole ‘no intention of signing…’ thing, despite fee being agreed, doesn’t sound great.  

I’m pretty calm about the whole thing. If it comes off, great, if not then that money can be reallocated into funding someone else, even a one year stop-gap.


I started watching the Drink It In documentary on Sky yesterday and the amount they cycled and refreshed the squad to achieve Champions League, the FA Cup and then ultimately the league means we’ll probably have to go through some short sharp iterations of the squad.

 

Their churning of the forward line makes really staggering reading before they hit gold with Aguero once they reached the Champions League:

 

08/09 - Robinho, Jo, Bellamy (£74m combined)

09/10 - Tevez, Adebayor, Santa Cruz (£72m combined)

10/11 - Dzeko, Balotelli (£60m combined)

11/12 - Aguero (£36m)


You can see similar with the midfield progression. Some weird stop-gap names in there as well - Owen Hargreaves for one.

A lot of the articles about him this season have praised his movement in and around the box which hopefully means he has a smart head on his young shoulders. 

 

If he fills out over the next few years and progresses as hoped he could be quite a formidable asset. Alway as risk that he doesn’t but you have to roll the dice sometimes.
