Exactly - It's all speculation. Who knows what he wants or if he even wants to move. What I do know is he looks ready to contribute now, and is an impact player. That's what we need. And we should be able and willing to pay for what we need. Bring him in, and 50% of our summer shopping is done.
Next must have target is harder to find - a midfielder that can do what Partey does, and possibly provide a consistent long range/edge of the box goal threat. Bruno G. would be my first choice for this.
That gets us to City level I think.
Every other incoming is a bonus.
