Just you then.....
Unfortunately, we seem to be stuck with him for another three years (harder to get off the books than de Zerbi, obvs!), with nobody seemingly queueing up to buy him (not on PL wages anyway). I'm sure he'd go if we paid up his contract in full, but that would be a hell of a waste of money. If only he'd agree to 'by mutual consent'...........
"Mahmoud, me old son, don't worry, we'll be paying your wages............so no worries, eh?
"We're loaning you to Port Vale for half a season .........OK? Yes, good, you'll love it there ....... ummm ...... passing on...
"We've arranged for a switch to Arbroath in January .. ..good experience for you. No language problems either, guaranteed .........
"For 2025, we're trying to do a deal with Carlisle ........ what, you want to be released to go and play some nice quiet football in the Netherlands?
"Let's sit down and make a deal!"
