Son Heung-Min

£20m for a 33 year old Son with 1 year on his contract is great business.

I guess we'll never know what the real financials are. On the surface we get £20m and £10m off the wage bill.

However, on the flip side we don't know the negative impact of the Asian market because we no longer have Sonny. He sells a lot of shirts and we know our ground attracts many Asians for one off visits to see their idol.

I guess it's a moot point though as players get older and lose the super powers. You have to call time eventually.

Disagree with retireing a squad number. It should be an inspiration for players. There have also been players that have won more than son wearing it. Ardiles for one.

Numbers in football are irrelevant, they were originally there so that spectators could identity players, with names on shirts thats redundant and they bear no relation to the position a player is filling.

We can’t just keep a squad place for that though. This is about the last point we could demand any sort of fee for him so we have to cash in. Honestly, it’s a no brainer IMO.
