He's effectively impacting his sell-on price now.
We have to hope a fee has been agreed as that would knock a few million off.
Also, despite his disgraceful performance today we shouldn't drop him to the reserves as it'd give buying clubs more leverage too. Just keep him on the bench. In the old days though, such a half-arsed performance might have gotten him a spell in the reserve team.

I do think he can quickly let his head drop, but Mancini hung him out to dry today by leaving him on.
Edin is on big money, so this cynic would respectfully infer that Dortmund can get closer to the overall package the longer he strolls.
Exactly what happened with Balotelli.
