I think he has a couple of years on his contract... He may feel he can score another dozen this year and get a better move in the summer, who knows. But I agree with the principle, having not signed elsewhere, any offer we made previously may now be more attractive.
Unfortunately the player has the power in this case - or at least would have had at the start of the window... let's hope we remain an option. Unlike some of the players we've been linked with, I can see him really adding quality.
