I think some of us had 'an idea' or 'heard something' about what it was that was going on with the Spanish contingent and Monk (and whoever else), but I don't think we can really be sure. With Pozuelo, Canas, Hernandez and Chico all gone, maybe Amat and Rangel can help calm any wild emotions. Personally, I'd love to see Michu here again. Especially if he can help us win the first game of the season 5-0 again:emoticon-0136-giggl

A michu on form is a player we should be happy about. A moody michu someone else can have....

But he hasn't been anywhere near his best for 2 years now. We had the best of him, time to get what we can and get rid. Imo wherever he goes now, it will be a backwards step.

He gets £40k per week so its unlikely we can off load him to lesser clubs as they wont pay anywhere near £40 grand basic wage for him. If we can find a club willing to take him on we will probably still have to pay most of that £40k anyway......We lose anyway you look at it....
 
Thinking realistically, I wouldn't have him back in his current state. I see him as a very emotional figure and he seems extremely headstrong. That characteristic can be as useful as it is destructive. It seems like he's decided he doesn't want to come back and it's going to take something special to change his mind.

If we did change his mind and could get him fit again, I'd have him back in a heartbeat. But a low on confidence Michu just returning from 20 months of injuries with only a year left on his contract? I can see why we'd look to get some money for him now, as if he spends another season in the injury room or spends the season out of form, we'll get nothing. The better business is to get rid, but my heart would probably still give him a chance if he decided to try it out with us next season.
 
The thing is we don't have a choice other than take him back if he don't have a club to go too......What ever happens we are committed to him for another season and he is entitled to claim his £40k/week regardless. We created the problem and Michu is sitting pretty. He is in a win win situation for a season at the very least.

We shouldn't have to change his mind. If he doesn't want to come here he has two options, find another club or rot in the reserves with the kids away from the first team squad. Either suits me as he needs us a hell of a lot more than we need him.

If he was to refuse to come back, suggestions are that he's ignoring communications with the club, he'd be in breach of contract?

This is what I don't understand. If he is refusing to come back then why can't we just cancel his contract and save ourselves 2 Million in wages. If anyone in any other profession refused to go to work, there is no way on earth that our companies would be duty bound to pay wages. Why can't we just tell him to **** off and cancel his contract.

Wouldn't there also be a ruling that would stop him joining a new club for a period of time?
 
Its bullshit that he is refusing to come back.....Why would anyone refuse a wage of £40k a week. He don't have a choice like we dont have a choice to look after his interest for another season....Hopefully he or us will find him a club that are willing to pay his wages or like it or not the problem is the clubs....as for refusing then he cant do that as he is bound by a contract. If he is willing to cancel his contract then that would be ideal but would you give up £160,000 every month.....I wouldn't and any sane person wouldn't either....

If he wants to play football he will. But all reports Dai are suggesting that he's ignoring the club Dai. A few even posted on here suggesting that weeks ago. Maybe you can find out from Huw? ;)
 
paper talk valley. it makes good reading like ash has had a medical with the gunners last season and it turned out he was sunning himself on the beach and knew nothing about it...But the papers made out he signed for arsenal...<laugh>
