Was hearing City could claim back his book value on what duration was left on his contract at the time?
Bought for £52m and spread over six years, so with just 20 months left, we're looking at offsetting roughly £13m.
That's more than we could ever have got paying his wages, watching him still walk away for free at the end of seeing out his contract.
God, it's even more depressing when that fact is remembered!
