Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
That plays a part id say.
Well what else is there?
He's already said he's been promised a place up front.
So it's either money, or he hasn't got the stomach to fight for his place.
This.
If he signs a new deal and plays to his best, what ever role he is in then good. If he think he can go to another top club and get what he wants good luck to him.
Maybe for his sake and England he needs to leave.
You have a point. Not sure i buy this he'll be disapointed if the club sold him stuff. If he went to his boyhood club pool i think he'd be very happy.
None of us here deal with player contracts but I'd imagine it's a little more complicated than just agreeing a wage and then getting on with it. If you're buying a house, it doesn't just stop at agreeing a price and then moving in. Employment contracts, if they've got some bullshit dismissal and discipline procedure, you're going to question it. If you were told they had a pension scheme or some sort of private healthcare scheme, which were part of the perks discussed in your interview, but there is no mention of it in your contract, you're not going to sign.
I work with contracts, legal teams and sales team. Once a deal is agreed between the sales and acquisitions people, it's over to the lawyers to thrash out the terms, which can sometimes take ages to agree on. With football and these multi million pound contracts, I can't imagine the process being much easier, especially when we factor in performance based perks, image rights and that sort of stuff. We don't know whose holding up what in such cases and it could be a situation where both parties agreed to something with his last contract but now the terms have changed and people want answers. Who knows…heck his last deal took 6 months to sort. If the hold up is money, whose to say the club don't want a bigger slice of his image rights and sponsorship money? There are a load of possibilities when it comes to these sort of things that we won't be aware of.
Sign da ting!
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
"....sit on the bench, listen to Frimpong talk about Dench, we got podolski, we got Giroud, even Gervnho's been up front too, so walcott, walcott, what ya gonna do?"
