Best way to persuade people - show them the league table since Moyes came in. This team has a lot of potential with the right additions.
I can’t see him taking a hair cut on 300k a week with two years left mate - I think the deal will depend on Citys conditions, interest and who is willing to offer City the best deal to cover his wage.
Villa have done it with Rashford and Asenio - they see it as worth while as it controls their ammortisation and safeguards them if by chance they didn’t qualify for Europe - I could see them or Newcastle offering 300k for a loan.
I think our best offer would be 150k, I don’t think that gets the deal over the line with other reported interest.
Even if we decided to pay him 300k a week - which we defo shouldn’t - then you have issues of no Europe and the draw of Villa.
I just don’t see us as a realistic option based on the above mate.
