So we're apparently LOANING out Mustafi to Inter.

This is just about the most disgraceful football business decision in our recent history. After being fed a litany of financial responsibilitiy for years we basically spend £35 million pounds and, a year on when prices have exploded even further, loan him abroad so that his value will gradually diminish to nothing.

And no-one is responsible for this of course.

I'm going to cling to the hope that it's because his family wants out and not that it's anything football related.

I respect that. But he has a contract and we paid a lot of money for him and that can only be recovered by selling him, not loaning him.

Absolutely, a loan deal for a player we paid 35m for is an absurdity. We loan on the basis that we don't actually want them and they can't be shifted, or for young players who need experience. If he wants out for personal reasons, I understand that, but like you I think he has to be sold and a replacement sought.

It's a ****ing shambles tbh...
