"He has two years remaining..

Redinthehead.
The Bosman ruling has greater ramifications than simply forbidding a club from holding a player's registration after their contract has expired.

If a player is nearing the end of his contract, the club will struggle to sell him because he knows he's in for a bumper pay deal once the contract has expired and the 'buying' club knows they can get him on a freebie.

Ergo, you can't sell him a player who refuses to leave.

I hope that's spelt it out for you.

Please let me know if you've spotted any spelling mistakes.

I've spotteded no spelling mistakes.

Jolly Rodger;

I agree with all that. It seems split between what is good for the player and what's good for the club. Or both.

We hold all the cards, we can keep him on his current contract, savings us £6m in wages.

He will need to perform next year to reach the euros, so he inst going to sit around moping, he will be wanting to raise his prestige at that tournament, or hes not going to have any suitors.

My prediction is we force him to stay, when he realises hes not going anywhere he negotiates a contract with strong exit clauses like suarez did when he realises we can just keep him for the two years, save 12mil+ on the wages we offered and take the settlement fee, any player we bring in as a replacement will be in the 100k bracket anyway.

(based on wages, sterling earns 6x more than Ings (allegedly) whose compo fee is set at 5mil)

Its not even about whats best for the club in terms of playing staff, its about whats best for the clubs image, we need to show we wont be bossed around by star players, we did it with suarez, we need to do it for sterling, or all we will be seen as, is a stepping stone.

What you are saying meets a lot of sense

I think it all depends on what a club is willing to pay. If City came in with a bid over £40m, the club may feel this represents excellent value for a player who does have excellent ability and potential, but isn't the finished article yet.

Apologies for dyslexia, mate. Is there any learning difficulties you take the p1ss out of?

Don't try and pass your idiocy as a learning disability.

Saying "he" instead of "I" shows you didn't remember which account you were signed in on.

What a sad act you really are...

Redinthehead.

I've no idea what your banging on about mate. I don't have another account.

Can't really converse with a c()nt like you. I sincerely hope you die a slow painful death.

Course you don't..

Good to see that last bit of your conversation. At least you'll have me filtered now then? Good. I'll expect no more comments from you on this thread.
