Again, another insider with knowledge of the transaction.
However, I put it to you, could it have gone down like this...
Sala "I want to go to France to say ta ra to the boys"

Cardiff 'we'll sort you a flight no problem , but the last flight out of Nantes is the 00.00 to Heathrow on Saturday"

Sala " nah, I want more time than that, I'll sort a flight with my agent"

The one thing that everyone is overlooking, is the fact this flight was the players decision, just like all of us in work, our employer got no control over us 7 days a week.
Your days off are your days off.

If I want to go to London for the weekend with my missus , no ones to blame if things go wrong.
Unless of course there's someone without a licence driving me about .
