I'm just guessing but - giving Jannik a 3 year contract means we could sell him even before this season starts and we'd still get some cash in - rather than just letting him go on a 'free' now.

Technically yes. But not likely. Unless some world class CB suddenly declares himself a lifelong City fan & wants to come here for a massive pay cut to help us rejuvenate ourselves.
Still, at some point we could always do what we normally do I suppose & sell him to Man U or Chelsea.

****ing ludicrous decision he has the pace of an astmatic sloth, combined with the turning circle of the QE2, but at least he can pass a football!

I mean, it's a perfectly sensible decision. He's a decent enough defender who, in the right setup, has already proven he can be perfectly adequate albeit not spectacular, in the Premier League.
Would you have preferred no CB, because that's probably the choice given our shackles?

No, he's got no pace and giving him a new contract was ridiculous.
(Yes, he has been very good).

I think most people said yes to new contract, but no to three bastard years when we have no idea how he’ll do.

Yep. But don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story.

He’s out with an ancle injury according to Danish newspaper Extrabladet, who are quoting When You’re Smiling podcast

Maybe he hurt his ancle because of the naughty step.

Those ankle injuries were always just after the drugs testers had been in, weren't they?

Allegedly. Wouldn’t think someone jailed for money-laundering would ever do illicit substances though.

Yeah. Facts like when he definitely, definitely spoke to the newspapers about how crap Cooper is and how his face is mangled.

Well, one of those two things is unquestionably a fact.
