January makes no sense. I just don't see it happening this month.
As I said a couple of months ago it makes last summer ridiculous to them let him go mid season, really ridiculous.
Why when we are still in two competitions and still have a big fight to secure Cl football next season to we let one of our players go? We hold all the cards here.
He can go next summer, we can find a replacement and give the manager a summer to integrate him in with hopefully a pot and cl football to continue our growth.
To let him go now weakens us mid season and makes no sense when the player has 4 and a half years to run on his deal, there is no need to sell him now. It would genuinely be another case of one step forward 3 steps back under these owners.
Sometimes owners have little choice but to let a player moved as they hold the cards but not in this case, we hold them all.
If he goes this window I'll be furious with the club. Not because I hold much respect anymore for Phil but because of the impact mid season it would have on us. It's different to Torres in Jan '11.. We were a bit of a shambles at that point and needed a rebuild. Right now? We are a couple of steps from the top rung of the ladder again, so why upset that? When you don't need to?
He can go in the summer, tell him he can, tell him he can announce it before the world cup if he wants.
If he goes this month then the owners can f**k right off
