Ach aye you're probably right. He'd maybe get there eventually (still unlikely mind) but wouldn't go directly from us.
It's similar from his point of view. He'd be bonkers to turn that down - he's not getting that type of money from anyone other than the top two or three clubs in England who would never buy him.
As always with these things a certain section of our fanbase who've yet to come to terms with our place in the footballing food chain(and that it isn't 1970 anymore) will throw the toys out the pram but there's no great injustice here. Fair play to Jota, he's been brilliant for us. Buying these players, them giving us CL football before moving on for a tidy profit is our aim as a club, and the only way we'll get anywhere near being the type of club we ultimately want to be.
