Haven’t we offered him a big hefty contract? I don’t think it’s a case of him wanting top dollar here. He can earn that elsewhere and compete for trophies.
His career is now in a worse state than it was before he joined. At least at Dortmund he was competing for trophies. Right now his goals are keeping us in the league, that’s the reality of the situation and I don’t think we can offer him anything to match his ambitions.
