That’s my concern, don’t want to start off with an expensive signing who isn’t really keen on coming.
Do you want to be buying a player that doesn't really want to go to you by all accounts, would appear he is being forced out due to barca's cash flow issues.
Looks like he wants to come also he's just making sure his family wants to move and reports in France are they very happy indeed to move.
Who can they get?
Wouldn’t surprise me, most young players from the continent have those sort of clauses inserted into their contracts, especially when there at clubs with no chance of champions league qualification, stops the selling club being unreasonable when a player wants to further their career. No doubt Ekitike will have one if he signs and I would think because he looks like quite a prospect he would also have clauses allowing him to leave if the likes of City/Liverpool/Madrid/Barcelona come calling
Looks like we miss out Botman and about to move onto Nidicka. Their takeover probably put them in pole position.
He's still a very decent player - but any side paying him a wage, with his fitness history, would be nuts.
Perfect for Manchester United then. Stick him on 500k a week. A good bit of commercial business.
That isn't the plan and Williams doesn't want to stay and play a few League Cup games, hence why he went out on loan in January. Williams is a decent player and will make a good career for himself but he's not good enough to play regularly for us so why keep him when you could potentially sell him for £10m odd? If he does leave then you would need to bring somebody else in but again, you're not getting anybody that will play ahead of Trent so a youngster that could potentially develop into a decent player is probably your best bet. In the event Trent picked up a long term injury you've got Milner and Gomez as options at RB too, both of whom I suspect would play ahead of Williams too.
