What would you do with him? He's a year into a five year deal and now he's refusing to even train. He's got to turn up for work or he's going to be in breach of contact. Probably.
I'd have him carrying out menial tasks. Cleaning the bogs to start with. Then cutting the grass with a little pair of children's scissors.
Come on Neil - loan move?
All about player power I'm afraid. He knows that as his stock is high, if he plays up they will have to sell him now before his value drops. As fans we'd all love to see players like him rot, but millions of pounds are at stake.
I'd stick him in stocks at half-time and let the West Ham fans throw fruit and veg at him.
Hasn't his value dropped already? He's done nothing all season.Quote:

Again, one of the most interesting (somewhat related) things I've heard on the radio was the employment specialist on 5live talking after Uber employees had won their case and how this relates to football where players' employment rights are frequently not kept. The issue being that the result that an employment tribunal can award being minuscule compared to most players wages and far easier to sacrifice your employment rights in order to receive a bumper contract without too much time out of work.

The old saying of never look ahead more than a fortnight in politics is about the likely time span of a football manager.
Gotta feel for Bilic, just when he seemed to have ridden out the storm, he finds his first mate is a mutineer.
Yet another sign that romance is dead in football.
West Ham turned down another offer -

Disagree with Shearer (no surprise there). They'd be doing football a favour if they stick to their guns. It'd be just like giving in to a ransom demand.
