Atleti would be crazy to think they can get away with anything less than the 2mil break clause fee, and at least half of his transfer fee in excess of our buy clause. But, the way that club is run, I'm sure they think they're getting the moon. Anyhow, this whole fiasco might wind up effectively paying Gardos' transfer fee, and I'm not panicked about the prospect of him playing games this season. The down-the-road, attorneys-and-tribunals drama will come when the club try to haul THFC before the FA/UEFA for giving Toby a medical when they had no contractual right to do so. I would imagine they have the weight to get away with a slap on the wrist, but it would be nice if it were more. God knows they deserve it.

Fair or not, i can't help but fear that the whole "house broken into" episode is a giant mark in the 'leave' column.

players of his build and extreme pace naturally go down under light contact; you learn early on that hitting the ground is less likely to hurt you than planting a foot badly in an attempt to stay upright or cut in pursuit of a ball. yes i've seen him guilty of an out and out dive, but the vast majority of incidents you lot are whining about are not dives or flops, it's Sadio being smart. Not about "trying to win the free stuff" but about his body and its limitations.

on today's evidence, **** yeah. I rate them splitting a win and loss between WH and Villa, drawing QPR, winning at nothing-to-play-for Swansea. If we can match their result v. Tottenham, we can still afford one more draw or loss out of the other four, and we are playing for the champions league on the last day of the season.
