You can see it now!
Steve Bruce: ‘I want Figgy. How much do you want for him Dave?’
Dave Whelan: ‘He’s not for sale’
SB: ‘£5m?’
DW: ‘Make it £3m over 10years with add-ons and you’ve got yourself a deal’
See ya Fig.
You missed the bit in the middle where Figgy’s agent goes to Whelan to inform him that his client his deeply unhappy, cannot settle in Wigan and would like to move to a climate closer to his Honduran habitat. Therefore, he would appreciate it very much if the Sunderland bid is taken seriously as it is Figgy’s dream move. Oh, or you could bump up his wages to about £60k per week and suddenly the weather in Wigan would seem acceptable after all.
Oh, here you go, here is a barrel for you to spread-eagle yourself over, Mr Whelan
