With the way he is currently playing and performing the chances of him doing that are slim. I just don't want us to be two games into the season with little to no points on the board again and another striker situation hanging over us. If we are firm with him about our approach I think he and his team will be less firm with other clubs in regards to wage demands, we will also be less firm with our transfer figure, and a good middle ground all over will be reached. It just needs to get sorted soon. We really can't afford to keep getting dragged into games every pre-season as it's undoubtedly disruptive toward our preparations.
