So what's the logical solution to this mess?
Do we continue to pay his massive wages and hope he gets fit again next season?
Is terminating his contract possible? I highly doubt it.
Will anyone else want to sign him? I highly doubt it.
Unfortunately I think our hands are tied with this one.
the club has a few possibilities:
- leave his contract as it is and hope that he somehow gets his shit together
- call his agent and either renegotiate his contract or agree on a termination
- fire him, he'll go to fifa, fifa will rule in his favor, we'll go to cas, and if we're lucky we might have a strong enough case with the injuries and the disciplinary stuff. it's a lottery that might or might not pay off (odds are slim, but might worth a try, as the compensation would be his wages which we should pay anyway, and maybe a few millions here and there, seven might add details, i'm not into sports right too much besides knowing the rules)
i'd try to negotiate first, then fire him. leaving his contract like this is the last option, he's doing literally nothing for a fat paycheck
