The Cabaye saga is a weird one for me. 100% he was sold the club as a stepping stone, he was almost definitely wanting to leave to win things. But there's a way to go about it. When he 'refused to play' whether that was club lies to put fans against him or not; when he wasn't playing games and the club were saying he didn't want to play games, he had a Twitter account, media sources, interviews, all he had to do was open his mouth and deny those rumours, and he didn't. Which probably tips it toward being true.
Mahrez is a good example for a player that wants to leave, was still putting in good performances for Leicester and at no point have rumours swirling around him that he was refusing to play for the club. But y'kna. In the past now. Sell/die Ashley, pls.
