No he was on hols until mid last week. If he spoke to us then

Spoke to us end of last week then at some stage made an offer and he wanted to discuss with family, agent, then negotiate it ask further questions on style of play, team goals etc it is not so long. I think Redmond probably took as long. Just psv are constantly talking about it as they seem very keen to sell
