Heerenveen to Keep Bradley - Yeah Right!


Yesterday a club spokeman at Heerenveen mentioned that the club may decide to keep the 20-year-old instead of selling him for a reported €8.5 million. Don't fall for it folks - this is just part of the transfer negotiating game. Bradley is in the last year of his contract so this is Heerenveen's only chance to cash in. The only way they can keep him in summer 2009 is to offer him a pay package he can't resist. The problem there is that the Dutch club won't be able to match the kinds of offers Bradley is sure to receive from teams with deeper pockets.

So, it seems that this may be Heerenveen's last effort to squeeze a bit more money out of the deal before they agree to terms. We presume that would be with AS Monaco but its never to late to count out the other suitors such as Bayer Leverkusen and Middelsbrough (or even another team).
