      The issue was length of contract over money from everything we have heard and then the offer went and thatā€™s what Gini has said people will know etc soon

      Personally I donā€™t think the money was the driver for Gini, he could had he wanted to have demanded a new contract at numerous point over the last 5 years, his stock being very high post the CL win for example, he just seemed happy and thought it would come

      What I think changed is the club made a decision on essentially 3 players
      Hendo
      Thiago
      Gini
      Once we had signed Thiago it 100% weakened Ginis chance of a ā€œlongerā€ contract as if we had offered that we would have had 3 midfielders around the 33-34 mark by the time those contracts are at their peak

      And if you look at it coldly, Hendo is skipper and vital to the squad, Thiago is new
      Unfortunately for Gini he is the one to be lost in all that

      Heā€™s been great, I love the bloke but itā€™s simple circumstances and I wish him all the best and hope he cashes in

      This is basically how I see it as well.

      We need to lower the age of the CM over the next year or so and signing Gini up to another long term deal would have been counter productive to that.

      I'd add in there the improvement or emergence of Curtis Jones. If his progression continues, he's going to be a force in midfield. And he's getting learn of Hendo and Thiago (and Gini for at least a season).

      Interesting that it looks like heā€™s signing a 3 year deal at PSG.

      Length of contract probably wasnā€™t the reason why we couldnā€™t agree a new contract then.

      I mean it doesn't seem hard to connect the dots and say it was money.....

      It obviously wasn't his "dream" to play at Barca because he swerved that pretty quickly for a bigger paycheck.

      The lure of Paris?

      I'm saying it was all about the Benjamins.

      Not necessarily. If PSG are indeed doubling his salary as reported, he is way better off 3 years @ double his wages than 4 years @ current/lower wages. Simple math.

      Good luck, Gini.

      Fantastic servant to the club, always busting a gut doing a lot of the donkey work, never got hurt, never complained and was a big-game player for us.

      Good luck to him. Served us very well indeed. Iā€™m not sure I could begrudge him going for one last big payday in Paris.

      Amazing - earnt the right do go wherever he wanted. For me, him and Mane were the first building blocks of something that turned out quite special when they signed in summer 2016. 5 wonderful years. He so easily could have gone on for a good three years or more with us but I'm happy that he's moving on to a top team where he will add so much.

      Thanks for everything Gini!

      Depends on your thinking and shows why he wouldnā€™t sign the contract the club offered

      Heā€™s doubled his money - looking for a big contract while he enters his last prime years. Plus he gets to work under a manager who likes to play attacking football and gets to play alongside some world class players.

      Yes the French league isnā€™t great, however Iā€™m sure they can go deep in the champions league like they always do.

      I prefer him going to PSG over those cu*ts at Barca.

      Been a good servant and so reliable with injuries and performances that said he would I think have been spending more time on the bench next season so good timing shame we couldn't get a fee though

      Shame FSG wouldnā€™t offer him the terms PSG did..

      Lost a key player & a reliable one too..

      So you carry on with your spin it which way you like that Gini is a money grabber..
