I'm confused? Before MO's most recent comments, his position was that LFC were his only option. That meant that Real had to accept whatever we offered, or have him sit on the bench unhappy. It left us with the advantage, and able to submit a lower bid. Now that he's said he'll go to Newcastle, Real can reject whatever we offer knowing that MO will take whatever he can. He's effectively put himself out of a move to LFC by his 'i'll go to Newcastle' comments. Have I got this right? Also, if he's prepared to go to Newcastle on loan, is a loan deal to LFC now an option? Posts merged: I'm confused? Before MO's most recent comments, his position was that LFC were his only option.
