He got a long contract and probably decent wages, probably nobody wants to match his wages and why should he take a pay cut to leave...the club gave him a contract so he’s got every right to sit on it (like Colback did).
I don't blame him at all, he'll never get a contract like that again. The club should have paid him out to get him out sooner, maybe cut their loses a bit. That would allow him to sign for someone else and play and get paid
Yep. It’s probably more complicated but I don’t see why if another club is interested but can only pay half his wages then we might as well let him go and pay the other half for the remainder of his contract e.g. better to only lose £20k a week than £40k a week. Same with Colback last season, should have loaned him out somewhere and even if a championship team would only pay half his wages (there would be takers) and we pick up the other half then we’re still saving money.
