I've heard that he is really keen to come but his hangers-on are pushing for an unrealistic deal which our negotiators won't be held to ransom on.

It's going to be a case of who has either the strongest nerves or the most sense.

We've seen it time and time again with the likes of Manure, Citeh, and Chelski, in particular, pushing the market prices up to unrealistic heights and spoiling deals for less wealthy clubs.
