I believe we can buy him for £6M. So if anyone is prepared to offer more than £7.8M and Atletico don't want him then he'll probably go. Personally I think he's worth double that.

And of that doesn't work they can buy Morgan and Wanyama too.
Which is why he is not being given a cabinet position but is simply being asked to join in the 'political cabinet' meetings. This is not the full cabinet, probably just some sort of political strategy meetings. He has specifically not been given a formal post because he has a year still to run as Mayor.
Come on Tim, try and keep up.
Sounds like he kicked up a massive stink which gave the club no choice but to move him on. I'm not saying he was wrong to do that, his choice if we wanted a guaranteed place.
