It would be poor management if we let any of our best players leave as soon as the media decided to stir things up. Bearing in mind he was the best forward in the country last season, I find it very odd that people are just saying we should let him go. We just need to manage the situation and BR needs to talk him round - that's part of his job.
Do you think it's only because of the media when Real comes calling? I agree it's BR job to convince him to stay, but, can BR really show him that he has a better future at LFC than Real? Would you believe BR if he told you so? The only way to have him stay (if there is a release clause) is to have FSG show that they are very ambitious and are investing big + he is convinced that BR can win trophies. Not an easy task unfortunately. I can only hope that there is no release clause and FSG plays hard ball (they do not get distracted by a big fee as they were with Torres)
