Wasn't it a four and half year deal from Jan 2019. Expires summer 2023. I never saw an option for an additional year mentioned on our site or anywhere else. Where was this reported?
It's not even close to the same situation. If Mac hadn't signed his contract when do you think we would have sold him and for how much then?
I'll answer. It would have had to have been in January when he only had 6 months left.
And you think we would have got loads more than 35m?
We signed a guy for 7m who went on to help us secure Europa League football, we prevented him from leaving on a free and instead got a big 'ol transfer fee whilst integrating new young midfielders to help soften the blow.
Yeah. Absolute clanger.
No complaints here. He would have gone on a free had we not got the contract with the clause in place. Sure, now it looks like he has gone for a 'cheap price' but my god we would have been frustrated if a world cup winner had walked out the door for nothing.
Well done again to the club. Go...
He was rubbish anyway.
Is he tall? No.
Is he a speed demon? Not really?
Can he tackle like Caicedo? No.
What's that? He can scoore when he is only 12 yards from goal and the ball is put nice and still for him on a spot with noone trying to get him?
Big whoop. He didn't win the world cup...
