I don't think it reflects badly on us.
He's not chosing between Everton and Fulham. He's choosing between change and continuity.
The status quo is always the easiest option.
I read we've offered better terms but Fulham's new offer is a lot closer now (still not matching though). It'll come down to what the player wants, as someone has already said he might have a family and is already settled down there... equally he...
How?
He reported we had a verbal agreement with tete. Now hes reporting Fulham have came back with a improved contract offer.
What do you want him to do intercept fulhams new contract offer and stop tete from seeing it?
I wouldn't even say it's playing a blinder to be honest, it's just doing his job. All pretty standard so far, and not really a massive deal whether he comes or not I don't think.
