As soon as we heard the numbers our interest dropped. As a bit part squad player on a decent(not crazy) wage structure it was worth looking at. Some of you won't like to hear it and probably doubt it's validity(due to his previous club status), despite me posting it a while back, but that is all he was ever seen as by Conte and FP. Was never seen as an option we were desperate to bring in.
Yeah it has never felt that he was a priority at all and I wasn't surprised we didn't go for him in the end. I think he will do well for them though, they have wanted him for years and he will want to prove himself again. He was on huge wages at Inter, so seeing he was looking for north of £200k a week it seemed to rich for us. Then those figures were posted by Wiskah and now it sounds like he is getting £300k a week. We've got the new stadium, but we cant pay that out for another player. Especially if they don't play every game.
