I'm more sympathetic to our stance when it comes to guys like Eddie where we wouldn't have gotten much money anyway. He looked very good in preseason. Maybe he gets a bit of playing time this season, does well, and we manage to swing an extension? It's not really an outlandish idea. I think it's fine to keep him around for that possibility, same way we did with Balogun last season. It might work out or it might not but those ten million that were on the table aren't going to make a jot of difference either way. We would probably just have used them to pay Willian to fuck off.
