As pointed out by others we couldn’t do that and even if we could, that is a horrible way to treat a person and would impact on our ability to attract other players if we were to treat them that way.

I’m pretty sure that the club and player thought an alternative offer would come from elsewhere. Then he picked up the injury.
I’m sure everyone hopes he gets back scoring and gets another offer in excess of the reported £2.4M
