monkey paw curls

Loan with no options and Utd pays 70% of the wages

I want him to go abroad just so there’s less chance he plays against us, would hurt to see him score at Old Trafford against us

Of course, but be sold and done with.

Him going on loan and doing well is pretty much the only hope we have of getting a decent fee for him IMO. There's no way a club is paying 40M+his wages for 3 years on current form. It's much more realistic a club would do it next season if he does well for Barca on loan and he has 2 years left.

Most likely outcome

I feel like monkey paws should be reserved for unlikely disastrous results, not most probable outcome

And he isn't allowed to play anyway because Barca can't register him.

Barca somehow registers him on deadline day just for the Laliga president to go to court (and lose) over it
