You can understand his feelings. He was just a pawn in the middle of it all, without anyone stopping for a moment and asking what HE wanted. He was being treated like livestock. From that article, it would seem the son of Nantes' owner was not a likeable person. Too many with their snouts in the trough.

We can't blame Sala for not wanting the move, he was probably very settled there and with a good circle of friends, life isn't always about the money.

In defence of the player he does go on to say.. “Me I am not scared to go there, because I have battled throughout my career, so to go there and fight, that does not make me scared".

So, he would have given his all, had he put on a Bluebirds shirt.
