We don't know what happened before this.

I'm assuming he had asked for a move multiple times and this was a last resort to force the club's hand.
I can't believe this would be the first step.

Let's not assume the club is totally innocent in all these matters

They did want to sell him in the summer to a place he didn't want to go.
Obviously, that was set up without his initial consultation.

The club can't take the high moral ground and say we want him to stay when they had clearly been open to selling him in the summer.

Sarge took a chance staying here for WC year but it just didn't work out how everyone thought it would.

Yes, he has a contract and should honor it.

        As Tim says - if it was Phil’s call not to play him, they wouldn’t take disciplinary (NCFC) - Kentish Canary, Jan 12, 16:25:38

        However, as a minimum would think he said he wasn't in the right head space (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 12, 15:53:34
        
        We wouldn’t be discipline him if that was the case (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 12, 16:28:33

        Agreed and coming back to my original point, assuming a player should be 100% mentally and (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Jan 12, 16:00:06

        He would have been advised by his agent what to say (NCFC) - seminated_woolly, Jan 12, 15:59:40
        
        He did the same at Bremen when wanting to join us (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jan 12, 16:15:07
        
        If that were the case, I don't think the club would be considering disciplinary action. (n/m) (NCFC) - tim berry, Jan 12, 15:52:13
