After the Papy deal, I have a lot of faith in the new CEO and manager to play this (if it even exists) correctly. Likewise, I think that Ellis genuinely wants Moyes to succeed and wouldn't want to undermine him so early in his tenure. Imagine Agent Mike in this situation.£17m?
Let's see if the club have learned anything at all about how to work in the transfer market.
He's our player, one we should be building the team around, and one we should be making clear will not be leaving, the end.
If he leaves, I'll be gutted we've lost a player of the calibre we thought we could only dream of.
If he leaves for that derisory amount, I'll be gutted we've lost him, and furious that the club are thick as fuck and/or interested only in cashing in our assets.
Let's hope these rumours are bollocks. Fuck the money, we need Kone.
