I think Merino was another that did not want to graft the Rafa way.
I think the bad back was exaggerated big style. Maybe I'm wrong but that's my thoughts on this fiasco.
a host of clubs in for him apparently
10 mill seems to be the price
for someone that rafa brought and doesnt play would be a better sale than mitro or mbemba in my eyes
wha has he played 3-4 times for us maybe
and doesnt get picked for the bench when he is fit at times

He has played for us 24 times in the league, so you're wrong there.
He never looked himself after his injury and Diamé + Shelvey were growing stronger for every game that went by. When he's not in training, he's always in Spain and apparently misses his friends and family.
Natural to move him on if he's not motivated to force himself back into the side.
He's got a release clause in his contract,so if he want's to go if it's triggered,he's offski..A shame cos I think he's a very good technical player..
Nope, wrong again. 8 games since Jan:

Merino has huge potential, in the same mould as Shelvey but he has never looked happy here. If his head isn't there it's best to move him on. Considering Diame's age, Merino would have been a good replacement for him. Pity, he could have been great here.
Disapointed if true. He is a future star.
Anyone who wants to go can...as long as any money is reinvested in full.
The release clause rumor has gained massive amounts of speed recently and nobody at the club is denying it, so i'm thinking that is correct.
Shame if he goes but if he's homesick and doesn't want to be here better he goes now so we can get someone in who wants to be here. I'd love him to stay though as i think he'll be brilliant player in the future.
