Some desperate attempts at spin here. This is a massive blow, he is an outstanding player. Doesn't matter having Cardall, Theo and A. N. Other Saffa, quantity doesn't overcome quality.
It doesn't bode well that he is obviously being cut loose.
The only small positive is that this is a situation that's going to affect the whole league and so its harder for other Prem clubs to swoop in. As a whole i think players will have to accept lower deals
