Don't think we have heard the end of this just yet.
We will be fighting a uphill battle to be honest, if the player really wants to go , then he will push thru a deal no matter what the chairman says. I ain't saying nothing New really, as we have all seen this situation over and over again. It will get to a point where the price is so high and the player so determined to go, that a transfer is the best for both clubs involved.
I do see a small chance of Modders staying, because he does seem like a good lad. Hopefully the chairman and Harry can convince him of the clubs ambitions, I'm sure an extra couple of $$$$ will help smooth it through aswel. As modders said he wont hand in a transfer request , if he sticks to his words then that will make it a bit easier to keep him.
Hate to use this as an example, but Fabrigas has openly admitted that he would love to join Barca. But up to now has refused to hand in a transfer request, which has made it easier for the arse to keep him.
I said this a number of time already, that we really needed to buy some players in quick, our targets should had be identified already. of course in realitly it not that simple, but we really need to show our intent for next season. The fact that modders is indicating he now wants to leave , shows this needs even more.
what is for certain is that this will go on till the window closes , thats if the tranfer hasn't already happen before that.
