He has to go, if he doesn't want to be at the club and be part of the rebuild, then he simply has to go.
The sooner he goes the better, I'm sick to death of reading about him wanting to move or other clubs coming in for him, it's not as though this started recently, it's been going on since the day he started banging in the goals.
That said, the way I see it, without him in the side we're going to finish about mid table, with him in the side we'll finish slightly higher on account of us being way behind the other clubs that would qualify for Europa..
So, what does it matter if he's here or not, **** him, price him out of a move or just tell him bollocks you're under contract and you're staying put, if he goes on strike or doesn't get with the programme then he gets to play reserve football and forget his hopes of playing at the WC next year.
