The club has to weigh up the cost of keeping him against the cost of replacing him.
I don't particularly want to see him go for nowt but I don't think he's that good and he could be replaced fairly cheaply. He's not Beckenbauer ffs, he's a big lad who's decent. £45k a week is taking the piss. Hope the club call his bluff and he ends up at somewhere like Coventry.
