Or if we hadn't sold him then you might argue when we're shopping for a new Caicedo, Biss, Cucu, Trossard in the next few weeks - we wouldn't be able to persuade them to come. ("you've a reputation for blocking my clients if they eventually want to play for Man City or Liverpool or the Champions...
