You're probably right, I was more of the mind likethinktank , just don't want him stinking the place out with his attitude. Then again, that's what he probably wants - a payoff without putting in the work.
Just tell him to stay away. If he wants to play football, find a new club, otherwise, you're on gardening leave.
How many players do the likes of Chelsea have in that position?
£80k pw is certainly an easier sell than £200k pw : but outside the very top clubs in europe that's still a high wage which a club would expect to pay only to a midfielder who was highly regarded and a first team member...... and even a number of those players might be paid more like 50% of the £80k pw.
I suspect we'd still find we needed to subsidise his wages to help him move on.
It's damage limitation at this stage.
The fee and wages combined is huge. We've lost this gamble and need to cut our losses as quickly as possible.
At this stage, I'd consider paying at least 50% of his wages as a 50% reduction and him out of here is better than paying 100% of his wages and having him around.
Didn’t they have one many years ago?
On a £40k a week contract and lived in Holland
Not part of their plans so flew over to train for a couple days a week and then back again before match day?
Winston Bogarde I think
I'd love to believe any or all of this, but where are you getting it all from?

5 and some change
Yep.
Signed "for" Vialli who was then replaced by Ranieri who didn't want him.
9 games in 4 years.
Claimed no one would offer him equivalent wages and opted to hold them to it. TBH, I can see why players do it. Hopefully Haaland is a massive flop and City get lumped with half a mil a week for 6 years.
And that was just the cost. If you thrn factor in the respective contributions, it's probably 10 and some. .
I would be shocked. He's built for the PL, but with loads of skill.
He's essentially Lukaku with more skill.
Has he got 'loads of skill" can't say I think that better feet than Lukaku certainly.
63 minutes??? Still??? In a farmers league???
Wow. That is shit. Paratici is going to earn his spaghetti this summer.
Had a pretty long injury lay off this year though
stop this crap
he is italian. oh wow
Surely there must be some way of holding players to account. There must be a way of measuring their performance in training. They should be made to meet expected standards or they can be sacked. I understand that footballers aren't like normal employees, they are in fact a cost/asset hybrid sitting on both the P&L and BS. However in cases like this the theoretical value on the balance sheet is just that. He is just a burden to us.
He should be given strict but fair targets of some sort. At least that way if he does stick around at least he will be in a decent condition and fit to play for someone. And also if his training is any good he might actually be good at playing football.
