A total no-brainer, Mike.
Yes, Byron is happy to have doubled his wages.
And yes, he is happy to have twice the length of contract we offered him.
What's not to like?
As for your arguments about Uche, they don't hold water either. In the unfolding scenario, we knew what we wanted and what Uche wanted. But not what Watford wanted. And if they're no longer being bankrolled by Elton John, then they could reasonably go for top dollar (which we'd never pay). Plus, try negotiating over the phone with one of their succession of Italian managers? No, thanks.
So let's put it this way: if you were gazumped on the purchase price of a house, would you pay up because you'd fallen in love with the place, or walk away?
Most of us would walk.
At least if Uche signs for the Vale we won't need to face him again this season.
