If I'm on £60k a week and training with kids, I'll be ok. That's the difference. They aren't leaving to make life changing difference to income, they are already on it, so damn right the club should be expecting them to sign or selling them.

I'm not fully sure I understand what you're saying about the income. Of course it's different for us to them. The impact of 60k a week to You and I would make a massive change to our lives, to the players, a pay rise would have a less significant impact on their happiness.

So why would that mean the club should expect them to sign or agree to be sold? They signed a contract and have every right to stay where they are just as we expect them to fulfil their contract and stay when we want them to.

Do you expect them to sign and stay against their will?
Do you expect them to move on to a club and location they don't want to go to?
How would you feel if you were forced to stay at work against your will?
How would you feel if you were forced to relocate and work somewhere you didn't want to?

No one should be forced into either of those. It's up to the club and player to be respectful to each other, to try to find a solution. No solution was found so the players are having to honour their contract, which they are. They now just have to refocus and find a way to enjoy playing again until they can be moved on or the circumstances change.

People are not robots, if you wouldn't want to be treated like that, chances are you shouldn't treat others that way either.

It's no good you coming along with a sensible comment like that - it upsets people. Stick Eriksen, Aurier, Rose and Toby in a barge and take them along the Thames to Traitors' Gate. Then off with their heads.
