The issue with Antonio is that it was Wednesday that instigated the move, not Antonio & not Forest, We approached Forest & said they could have him which meant we had little control over the extras, particularly as we wanted cash up front.
Antonio was organising tickets for friends and relatives for the Brighton match less than 24 hours before the deal happened.
This discussion will continue because Antonio is the star man at the team that is top of the table - two more assists and a goal last night. Antonio has got more Championship assists than any other player over the last two years & that is with injuries and terrible strikers missing most of the chances.
I would be tempted to go further & say we would go up if we had got May & kept Antonio.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
