Sign the release before he changes his mind, it should have been cancelled in the summer instead of us wasting money paying a portion of his contract until now.
1. Good 2. It's in the Fail... 3. Marseilles are skint, they won't pay him what we are (and neither will anyone else in their right mind). Will he take the cut?
