Mendez Laing Contract Terminated

[Pedro de la Rosa]

He refused to go to training. Club tried to be accommodative until it reached the point where he was taking the piss. That's how he breached his contract, by not showing up to work. Club got rid but obviously they don't want to pay the compensation so they're being careful about what they say, letting the legal proceedings unfold.

Why not sell him or loan him out?

two separate, reliable, sources have told me exactly the same thing, car accident with extras. There's no way they'd act like this if he just didn't want to come to training, especially as he has an intrinsic value.

Yeah they'd just be giving him away to another club. It has to be something that stops him actually playing for a while, and a criminal act seems to fit the bill (no pun intended).
