I saw something that he trained today so the “strike” BS is definitely dramatization. That said, we don’t sound as firm this time around which worries me. I know he’s gonna leave eventually, but it makes no sense right now in the middle of the season while we’re still in CL and he’s cup tied. I mean, I wouldn’t be terribly upset if we brought in Lemar this window to replace him, but he wouldn’t be able to play in CL either

I just don't see it happening UNLESS we have a Lemar or a Goretzka lined up to come in in January.

At this point, I see no benefit to selling him immediately. And would be pretty upset if we did with CL and top 4 in the balance. But if we want to strike a pre-deal for the summer similar to what we did for Keita, that's fine. I believe in Phil (I have no idea why) enough to think he'd still give it his all while here with that set up.

Heaven forbid we play Barca in the CL. I'd send Phile home that week.

I would prefer that we wouldn't have to do it until this summer (no pre-deal) so that teams wouldn't know we just got 150m and hike up Lemar etc. price, but it is what it is. I don't think its going away and I don't see any way we can go through another summer of this.

Can they not just sell him on a pre-signed deal like everywhere else.

It's ridiculous for him or his agent to assume leaving in the middle of the season with what is on the line is plausible. Especially without Keita.

Finish the deal, contingent on the summer move. WTF is the big deal?
