Maybe he's trying to claim we're close to the FFP ceiling because other clubs are putting their prices up as they think he's loaded? It's all just speculation at this point.
Of course it's accurate, it's been leaked by his agent. I imagine it's so the club get peer pressured by the fans into upping the offer
Losing KLP, Honeyman and Greaves this window would just about be the worst-case scenario in terms of outgoings. Easily our three best and most important players last season. I think we all knew KLP was going, Honeyman was a surprise but Greaves would just be tragic and we’d be left scrambling for a good centre-half and if we go to foreign markets again, it could be a huge gamble.
Im 99% sure it's his agent. They have also been putting feelers out around clubs quite openly to try and guage potential offers from else wise contract wise
But they also allow clubs to move on surplus players much easier, they’re certainly not perfect but clubs need them.
They are fantastic and awful at the same time. It just depends what side of the fence your on at the time unfortunately.
I'm sure his dad's involved in there somewhere yes. But think there is also someone else involved now
His agent is ICM Stellar Sports, one of the biggest in the business, they represent a lot of the England players (Grealish, Phillips. Chilwell, Shaw, Ward-Prowse, Pickford, Loftus-Cheek etc).
Surely what the club need to be doing is lining up a replacement. He has potential but has a long way to go.
