We Have Problems!!!

If we don't offer him a qualifying offer by the end of the month, he's unrestricted (unlikely). Same if we offer it and pick it up before he signs.

If we offer such a deal, he's restricted until he signs that deal or another one from us. We'd like this QO to be something he won't sign if we want him long term, so minimal.

If he signs that deal, that's his contract. It can be renegotiated or he can play it out.

While restricted, we can match any offer made for him if we do it withing 3 days of it being made. No, there are no `secret' offers. If we don't match (or exceed?), he can take that deal, but he's not unrestricted (I think).

I don't think anyone will offer him more than 50 mil, which we offered, he's a douche.

yea, my reason for saying is that in no way is he going to get over 50 mill or even match that, he should of just accepted it when we first offered. I get he wants to test the market but it's basically greed, he wants more but is not going to get it.

i said sorry if Germans and i was always a fan not a bandwagon fan piece of shite.

its cool, sorry for calling you a piece of shite.

I bet you'd be a douche if you were in his position. Would you really turn down $8 million if you not only thought you could get it, but thought that was what you were worth? It's not like he's holding out to get more money, he's just using the system that was mutually agreed to by players and owners.
