Bring him home. There’s probably nothing he wants more than to enjoy his football again. Let him. Bring him home.

I always felt that there must be some opportunity in this window before the euros to entice a top player who for some reason wasn’t getting game time and might consider a move they would never normally sanction for the sake of their country.

It would require a very odd situation for their club to be squeezing out a player good enough to really excite us, and he would have to be pretty passionate about his international duties.

But surely someone would fit this scenario...

Real Madrid will either continue paying 500k a week or will pay just half of that as we'll cover the other half. I imagine that's Levy's offer. Plus a hefty loan fee.

I think there's legs in this, unless Real really don't care about forking out half a mill a week on someone Zizou doesn't really care for and who's fallen out with the fans. Ordinarily I'd say they don't care about the financial aspect of things, however FFP rules must make them care to balance books etc...

His agent would have to have a massive climb down from the no loan situation and that just isn't going to happen.

it took 4 people to write that Times according to the article. I know journalism is a dying profession but they can’t be that bad can they?!?!
