Agents will be agents...

They'll find a way for Safri to leave very quickly and he won't be missed, nor do we need the money from him. If he goes for free when he could be worth a couple of million, you could look at it like Grant has just spent that two million on making an example of a player and sending out a message to the rest of them. In which case, that's Grant's best transfer deal of the summer! I think however the outburst affects things over the next month, in the long run it draws a line under an era where players had been using the club as a gap year or a springboard. With Earnshaw gone and Safri on his way out, that could well be the last of them.
