Pointless mentioning his scoring record and comparing to others. He is simply one of the greatest and earning what he does is well deserved.
However...as a club we are financially crippled due to covid and in a summer where we need to improve midfield and make so many changes...how can we justify keeping him?
If you earn $200k a year and your wife spends like you earn $500k a year...you cancel her credit card and change internet banking passwords.
It's unfair for us to have this player at a time where we can't afford him.
