It's almost a game between JT and the club right now. The club have made him an offer which they probably think isn't enough to persuade him to stay meaning he will reject it. They can then say he had an offer but decided to leave. Not our fault fans.
JT came back with the in field speech yesterday putting the ball back in the club's court. Tells the fans he wants to stay, they want him to stay, 'we all want the same thing' - but there are discussions to be had. Those discussions clearky on the terms. So now it's the club's fault if he doesn't stay.
The club are far from convinced they want him to stay as if they were we wouldn't have got to this very late stage. Conte will,of course, have played a role in this. Whether his role is the one that has persuaded the late offer or whether it is the one that created the reduced offer we may find out in JT's autobiography one-day.
