JazzG Great player for us but no need to bullshit, it was well known a contract was agreed but Juve offered him a massive contract for coming on a free and said we needed to match it and we said no.
Exactly how I feel when I negotiate a contract to be fair. I don't sit there and think to myself "Oh no, I shouldn't ask for my rate". Ramsey's viewpoint there is just the viewpoint of an expert cutting a deal on his rate, give or take.
Mirth My recollection is during the 2010s any half decent player ran down their contract and held the club over the barrel.
Right, I mean fans can be all "Oooh he should've taken a preemptive pay cut" about it, but if another party cuts you off in the middle of a fairly normal negotiation on your rate, it's not you that's done it.
Same token you're not wise if you give Emery a red card over it without the rest of the circumstances.
