I personally can't criticise the club for doing everything to sign a talent like Olise from our academy. His agent had us by the balls and we met his terms. It was vindicated; he played great football that gave us a chance of the PL, before bringing us £8m and quite possibly another £5m this summer.
The villain here is the agent who insisted on illegal clauses being inserted; why is there not a licensing system which allows the authorities to revoke his licence?
I get there is a counter argument that we could have called his bluff and told him it was an illegal clause which nobody else would have agreed to. But there is a more than reasonable chance that another club would have been willing to take the risk. And he's still the main villain of the piece for forcing us to make that decision.
He should immediately be sacked, with a more honest agent given the chance to make ££££s out of Olise's next big move.
