Why is he as good as gone, I'm confused? We said we would match any offer. Not 1 team made a respectable offer for us to match. So there are 29 teams out there giving him 0 offers and one team that liked him enough to trade for him and has said he is their priority, their only priority. But because we won't make a bad deal that is above market value he will leave to join a team that didn't make an offer for him? Or are you saying he will be so good that teams will be lining up 1 year from now to make him a day 1 priority like some of the names listed above by UD? Edit- in which case, in that unlikely event nobody could offer more than we could.
