You're reading too much into the comment IMO. It's a tough situation for a guy whose financial future is on the brink of being decided.

Imagine you were negotiating your salary for the next 8 years and it had taken way longer than you hoped.

If it is still painful I read into it that his agent is playing hard ball when Jonny just wants it done. Just my opinion.
Agents work for players. If Johnny just wanted it done, it would be done.
