Very much this. I wouldn't want him to go to a mediocre club such as Bolton and scummy Leeds anyway. I don't think he'd be stupid enough to go to the latter either, a club in absolute turmoil - make the huns look stable.
If it is true, as others have said, i'd expect a massive fee to be paid as he's got plenty of time left and we'd need it to find a decent replacement. Marley Watkins? If anyone goes, I want it to be now to allow sufficient time for the club to find the right replacements and time to settle.
