Again, he's not a 7 million (or even 5 million a year) a year player. He's often too passive and indolent, and he lacks grinta. We're not just conveniently going to forget 36 months of absolute apathy and disregard for the shirt. Fuck this mercenary. Do not renew! There are better options. Look at Napoli. Everyone thought they were doomed after losing Koulibaly, Insigne and Mertens, but they're actually a better team now.
Find the right players, but more importantly find the right coach.
