Just on this topic back in the day if a player was under contract and wanted to live by agreeing on terms with another club the current team would not play them as what would the point have been and let them rot till they move on.
Why are we even considering playing him again where is the moral in that if I was the player I do not want to be with this club, Why would I play now as I'm not interested and his form has shown that?
F Me he would not play for a decent man shows his true character f him off no matter how good he is.
