Ouch ...... this one is going to hurt aswell. And confuse him.

Our Owners are billionaires. And if we fancy this lad, then we will pay what we need to get him. If that's what the manager wants.
The only way he isn't coming, is if we believe they are asking silly money (like paying £13.6m for a nobody).
We don't do stupid business's at our club since the manager came in, and the billionaires do what he asks for. Including buying this kid, if we think it's worth the investment. If he is good enough for us. Is he what we need. If any of that is an issue, or you ask silly money, we will get someone else. Or we come back in Jan if we like him. Simple as that.
