Osmosis

if he hadn't signed a contract then it woudl have been really hard for him to play (fans and players hating him), and the story would have run on and on until January - specifically what fergie didn't want.

Short of sacking him and getting no money at all for him, this was the only logical way of cutting the story off. Until January at least.
