The issue here is we offered a contract and so because we have developed him and his age we are entitled to compensation from another club.
If AB is in limbo it is because the other club don't want to pay adequate compensation or risk a tribunal which I assume will be the situation if the clubs are deadlocked over his value.
AB entirely within his right to reject our offer....PAFC entirely within their rights to insist on compensation
If the other club ( or clubs) don't want to pay compensation they are entirely within their right to not proceed with an offer.
From the club perspective if we don't insist on what we believe we are due what message does it send to other players/clubs....
