For me it is a very delicate situation. I would hope for the sake of the squad, for the sake of our prospects of next season the situation is resolved by City or whoever else coming in and put that 50m bid. We would get a very good offer for a player that is now useless to us fans now. He wants out, he is a class A idiot.
People can blame Brendan for this or his agent. At the end of the day the guy has had advice from big footballing personalities, ex Legend of this club and even players and Legends from opposing clubs, from managers from the media, . Nearly everyone has said one thing and that is that he should stay at this club for it will be in his best interest to further develop. This arrogant little kids knows more than anyone what is right for him, changing his reasons as if they were socks in his closet.
The thing is though this amount of arrogance he has shown has to be dealt with. And we can't let him win this duel. The kid isn't clever he has only arrogance between his ears. So I understand and admire the owners for having a stance. At the end of the day this can't be a lesson for others to kick up a fuss and get their way easy. At the end of the day City haven't put in a bid, they realise that we are cornered. If they don't bid then let him rot in the reserves it will be a huge short term loss. Though saying that hit September if he isn't gone then he is also in a nightmare situation. Stick him in the reserves till he doesn't sign on the dotted line. I do accept that some people will be fuming at the very thought of him playing for us again. But I don't think we can keep him in the reserves after he signs a contract even though I hate to say it. The modern game gives all the protection and more to the players. They make all hard rules on the clubs at every opportunity whether it be FFP, Nationality quota's or what have ya, but for players it is different it is all designed for them to get more and more arrogant.
