just like when players want to leave us I always say the most important thing is to get top dollar and then wave them off ( or kick them out ). If they don't appreciate playing for us then I won't be crying if they leave.
I would say 99.9% Sunderland fans feel the same. If he doesn't want to play for them, then flog the beaut for as much as possible. If that's to us then great because I like him. We get a great player, they get top dollar and so the circle of football life continues.
in 2 years time he may very well do the same to us, if that was the case we would sell him for 40m and again the circle of football life continues.
