I'm strangely ok with the one year release clause. We either make good money after a year of his services or he likes it here and stays.
I imagine this deal wouldn't be getting done without the clause and he would have waited for Atletico. To me this is sound business
Me too.
If Madrid didnt have a ban, we wouldnt have got him in a month of Sundays anyrate. The buy out of £5m is peanuts these days.
He might give us an excellent year, and assuming our buyout after 1 year is ok, then why fret? He might actually prefer to stay, or Madrid dont fancy him in 12 months.
Deal in the present.
