If Newcastle don't get CL, the scuttlebutt is that it'll be open season on him. Journos have hinted that Liverpool might be interested in addition to us, but I don't buy it - they don't splash that kind of cash on players and they also normally keep their business extremely close to their chests.

Will be an interesting summer. Just hope we’re decisive.

I hope we learn from the Declan saga: pick a number that's actually the maximum we're willing to pay, plonk it down with minimal clause faffing about (the day after the transfer window opens would be nice, Andrea), and if/when they say no, pivot immediately and stop thinking about him. I either want to see him in training photos by August or never hear his name again.
