It's about respect. Are they going to keep him till the very last day to renew his contract? Are they going to do the Trezeguet show? That's now how you treat these players. He's no Amauri or Grosso. Show the man who has given the club everything for the past 20years and award him his last contract.
Even, Monter, Iuliano, Edgar and Lippi were/are shocked and criticized the club for not renewing Dp's contract until now.
