@David7Bell: Thanks for all the nice messages but just to clear up I haven't left the club I have 2 years left on my contract ✌
Doesn't mean he's staying, just that he hasn't left.
Wouldn't we all do the same in his position?
Well I'm shocked by this news. I thought he'd write his contract off or Arsenal would come in for him.
Make the c**t redundant.
Quite possibly especially since the way this is being handled creates animosity, when you are upset and angry with your employer and consider them disloyal why do anything but what is best for yourself?Wouldn't we all do the same in his position?

I've mentioned this a couple of times, the way it's being done is very strange. These players are under contract, you can't just get rid of them so why are they being made to train alone and frozen out? If we're paying them (potentially for 2 years) why not make use of them, it's not like we've got a huge squad full of experianced players. Can't look good to an interested buyer either, imagine Bell for example is on a decent wage for L1 which someone will need to match, who's going to buy him when the message we're putting out is he's not even good enough to train with the first team squad?
It suggests he isnt planning to go though doesn't it? sounds like I'm on more money than I can get elsewhere by a significant margin, I'm seeing out my contract thanks.
Interesting angle, but why would he be upset with his employer?
Edit: I didn't realise he was one of the players asked to leave!
Still, I'd say his employer giving him a 3 year deal for no apparent reason would be cause for great joy, rather than upset!

To me, it reads like people have been tweeting him saying sorry to see him leave, and he's clarifying that as he's under contract he hasn't actually left.
twitter isn't the best medium for reading peoples' thought processes however.

yes what you just wrote in the bomb squad thread is the reason for those to be upset and dig their heels in, if that is what is best for them financially.
I agree. But if my boss sent me down the park on a 2 year contract with the strict instruction to "Play football".
I'd be pretty happy.
Give him a chance. Injured last season and we wont get any new players.

True but that isn't what they are being asked to do, thats what happens if they dont leave, they are being asked to find another club and that for someone who has been injured for so long will almost certainly mean a massive pay cut. So Bell is probably saying no thanks I'll go down the park with my 2 year contract and play football for 5k a week.

I don't blame him if we are stupid enough to not realise we need to get him on that pitch to generate interest from anyone who maybe able to pay his wages then so be it.
To be fair, getting him on a pitch would just have him injured for another 6 months, and unable to be moved on!

Get him 5 games if you can
