Some brief and unalarming gossip from our lady who does.
The fate if Nabil Bentaleb may be decided this summer.
Glad believes that several sides have made – what this stage – are low key enquiries.
‘Is he for sale?’, ‘Is there anything horribly wrong going on with him that we really ought to know about?’ that sort of thing.
The understanding is that the answers were ‘yes’ and ‘no’, respectively.
The clubs that have enquired to date are Stoke, Watford and Palace.
What was made very clear, is that the club are praying that young Nabil goes gracefully.
The 21-year-old has a contract that doesn’t expire until 2020 and his feelings towards THFC are such that he feels terribly hard done by, shortchanged.
Don’t be shocked to see this one to run and run; for the Algerian to be whored extensively by his agent both here and abroad, etc etc.
With any luck, he’ll use the opportunities placed before him to naff off and show the world how bloody wonderful he is.
