Asked this question before and never really got an

answer. If a club have a player(Naismith) who is not in the reckoning, why would they not just give him a free transfer?
Assuming we paid 7-8 million for Naismith and are paying him 40,000 a week and there is a club out there willing to assume 20,000 of that a week, why not do it? If you're not gonna play the player isn't that saving the club 20,000
a week in wages? I understand youre accepting that you made a 7-8 million dollar mistake but isn't the wage savings
at this point more important. Lots of questions I know.
Would think David Moyes wouldn't be reluctant to pay Naismith that.

    - Thank you. Sounds like there is incentive on both sides (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Jan 9, 15:54:42
      - surely if we loan him out and still pay 80% of his salary, it makes sense to keep him (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Jan 9, 15:59:18
        
        I'm still not not sure he's actually a striker (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 9, 16:00:50
        
        true, but he's definitely not a midfielder! (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Jan 9, 16:02:50
        
        Good debut though. (n/m) (NCFC) - jAC, Jan 9, 16:06:50
        
        if we played Liverpool every week he'd probably be quite good (n/m) (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Jan 9, 16:29:00
  - Because we’d have to pay up his contract in full unless he agreed otherwise (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 9, 15:37:55

    - We're still going to be paying him £30k per week whatever happens (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 9, 15:53:41
    - Literally no-one will pay him £40k a week for 18 months (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 9, 15:44:08
