1) join a team who will bench you instantly and will dick around with the negotiations so that you join them in mid August/deadline day, just so you can get nothing
2) go to a team in Europe where you'll instantly play and maybe in a year or two you might join a title-contending team and be on a huge wage.
He's said nothing, some journous have said he prefers us, no?
