I read it too. Like most reports, it read like conjecture and supposition. Seems to go in waves one way and then the other. My gut feel (supposition) is that Poch wants the job but has missed the boat
Trouble with those player plus cash deals is the player being offered seldom wants to come, so form is affected. I'd prefer lump sum all at once (but keeping Shaw would be much better)
I thought that was a bit ambiguous, to be honest. Might have suffered in translation. Good if he's keen to stay though and the optimist in me says he's been satisfied that MP is not off (or incoming is a good one)
