Selliott

It's six of one half a dozen of the other, we've not been particularly "hands off" in our messages about Diaz, he's not really covered himself in glory with his comments either "If I have to stay for 2yrs..". It's just business.

That said, as much as I didn't agree with the booing of Trent, he's living in another World if he thinks running down his contract and not giving us the opportunity to get a fee was fair play, given his history with the club. It's like secretly working hard on a separation for years to ensure that you walk away with everything when the time comes.

I don't think its irrelevant. Choosing not to extend a contract for a player who has a 2+ year guarantee of mega earnings is in no way a betrayal in the grand scheme of things.

Is anyone saying it is a betrayal? I jumped in without reading the thread.

As a general point though, I find the "for 100K a week" type arguments to be annoying.

The wages are standard in the industry so feeling of contentment will come down to other things, naturally.

All in all, its the best move for his career. Great lad and has handled all this in the best possible way, but he isnt good enough to start for us and the manager wants a different profile of player.
