Yes, agreed, but don't publicly state it or even indicate it, either yourself or via your agent, because it's disrespectful.
I mean it works both ways - we'd rather have Jordi Alba at Everton, but the club don't go around saying that during negotiations ffs
I agree. But it was only media reports. There's no evidence he literally told us outright that he was waiting for something better. If the lad agrees to sign for us that's good enough for me because he's a good player, with plenty of big club and international experience, and in a position we badly needed.
