Why would the player care what fee the club gets? Other than the "loyalty bonus" cut they get off it, and why should they care?

Why is running down a contract seen as a bad thing? The club and player have agreed to that length of contract, surely there is nothing "disloyal" about honouring that contract.
Do you not see anything wrong then if Bobby Reid had stayed another year at Bristol then ****ed off next summer on a free?
