Thinking about it, as much as I don't want us to sell him, if he did make the decision to sign for someone else, I wouldn't want him playing for us personally.

Because of the length of his contract I like how they are holding out for a deal they think is sufficient. Timing of bids outwith the club control.

It's such an ambiguous post the team news will be interesting either way. Play him and it's a sign we or he may have rejected, not playing and no doubt many will claim he is off. Yet we're playing a league 2 side, so wouldn't be surprised if one or 2 aren't used.

Good move not to accept the original derisory offer, in an ideal world we need to be looking at a deal that will eventually net us well north of £30m.

However we all called it a week ago, we'll cave in at the last minute and then the excuse will be we didn't have time to get anyone else in or else we'll  get someone pretty useless in on loan after which we'll be another body and our best player down in summer.

Or he's coming back on loan.

Or JDT is fuming and leaving after this game.

Unlike Rev, I'd have him back on loan. Hope we get a good price with good add-ons if he goes.

I get you. 

But he's then impacting the development of our own players.

If he helps us avoid relegation that's more important.

Sorry. Didn't recognise the sarcasm.

Wharton money in, now looking elsewhere?

Or is it wishful thinking?

They have a massive catchment area. East Anglia is devoid of football clubs - so is the East of England, tbf, which is why people from Kent support Spurs.

I always thought the reverse was true. People who support Spurs are Kents. I’m deaf, so maybe I misheard the last word…

I would tend to agree, except his development may eventually net us more cash in sell-ins/improve the chance of a higher sell-on. Plus the obvious sentimental reasons.
