Sorry to disappoint the conspiracy theorists, but I am not affiliated to the club in any way, either officially nor unofficially. Alas, I'm just an average Johnny, and not even a 1901 member. I'm just another F5 basher, trying to cut trough all the misinformation, make believe and general bollox that makes up 99% of this thread.
From what I have gleaned so far, we probably are after him. We probably bid around $10,000,000. We probably offered a 3.5 year contract of £14,000 a week. He probably would rather go to Inter. His dad / agent is probably trying to do what is best for his son / client.
In my opinion, the sticking point is wages, after all, they have yet to tell us to do one. If £14k is enough to peak their interest, then perhaps Tony should break the clubs perceived wage structure to get his man. £20k a week might be enough to seal the deal?
But even if we don't get JC, there are always more fish in the sea, and $10,000,000 buys you a whole lot of sushi.
At last, someone who seems to be level headed.
