How can you have a clear out if they won't go?
The club could have very easily agreed a reduced pay-off with Niasse which meant we paid less wages, he got a new club and played regular Football - everyone’s a winner.
There are teams that would take Niasse, no question about it. We just haven’t shown the ambition to get him off the books. Which is ultimately what it boils down to, ambition.
We wanted a fee for him, the clubs prepared to pay a fee for him are clubs he doesn’t want to go to. The clubs he wants to go to will take him for free on reduced wages.... so it becomes a stand-off of all 3 parties to see who blinks first.
If we had the wedge we profess to and we’re going to smash FFP this summer as many blooz think we will, they wouldn’t be messing about and Niasse wouldn’t still be at the club.
