Normally you would take soundings with the player before agreeing with the club...just to avoid such embarrassments.... Sadly though, I think we are much in the same position as Sp**s. Once out of the Champions League, you lose drawing power.

Contrast that with Madrid Zone who seem to be revelling in Sp**s humiliation
