I'm not sure about this.
Dont like all the bad press he brings to the club, the anger problems on and off pitch.
However, he is a good footballer, when fit and not trying to injure other players.
Maybe the lawyers cant see a way to get him out so they figure they bring him back into the fold to either use the asset they're going to be paying week in, week out, or just make him a more saleable commodity.
Perhaps it would be best for all he went elsewhere.
