Sorry - does not compute. NC runs a multi million pound company. I just can't see him acting that way. Absolute proof is required for me to believe that.
Nothing against him just do not think the Captaincy has done him any favours - makes him concentrate on what the team are (or are not) doing instead of what he needs to be doing.
Why is it obvious? 2 of our targets are in the hutch - I expect more to follow - its just that the higher the calibre of target the more protracted the negotiations seem to become.
Can't see it myself FL is or was a top draw midfielder - not just a goal scorer. I don't see JRod as a big passer of the ball in the same mould. But more than happy to be proved wrong. Ramirez is nearer the mark - just not size wise.
