When we were negotiating a contract, a few players were in the same situation.“We changed the board at the club, there was a problem with the timing and by then it was too close to the end.
If I could have signed and made it different, I would have. But it was difficult at the time.“People might think I’ve done it before and will go down that road again but that’s not what happened.
I want to make that clear.”Check out FootballTransfers’ new app for all of football’s big storylines, transfer rumours and exclusive news in one convenient place directly on your mobile device.The FootballTransfers app is available in the Apple App Store.
