If he signs with us for five years, we'd only let him go for a bigger fee, thus we can't really lose unless he does a Lescott and just stops attempting to play because he wants out.the fact that ManU have apparently pulled out because of his Agent's fee demands speaks volumes. He's their biggest client by a long way and this will be their first big deal so they want to set themselves up with it.
If we sign him, it will be because we are willing to throw well over the odds money wise at him, and no doubt his agent will be looking at his next move within weeks of his arriving so he can repeat the big payday.
Also wouldn't mind if he had a buyout clause in his contract for say 70m. Can get plenty of good defenders for that price. I think if we do happen to sign him we can count on him for at least two seasons, probably more, so no problem for us.
