Good luck to him. He has wasted a good bit of his career, hopefully he's getting it back on track now and plays a lot more.

I don't really understand this cancelling of his contract.
Couldn't Spurs have taken up the option of his final year and then next month sold him for £1m to someone and thus gained £1m?

I doubt Millwall would have £1m to spend on him (factoring in wages too). Its a goodwill gesture to someone who has been at the club a long time and seems to have always had a great attitude.

Ipswich or Forest or Soton or Bournemouth or whoever, someone must have £1m

Fans miss this, a number of players now the club has shown a willingness to help players on the way out .. Tanganga, Lloris, Perisic, etc.

There's very little money in the game beyond the top half of the EPL. We're not going to be able to get anything but notional fees for unwanted squad players. None of Spence, Rodon, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Lo Celso, Solomon or Gil will top about £8m I reckon. Royal will be the only player we get 8 figures for this summer I predict.

That would be my guess too. Perhaps there's also some money involved in activation another year in his contract (would be the more cynical view).

Whatever the reason seems like a perfectly fine decision.

Good luck to him, a good player for the right system.

If we've cut him and Ryan loose without extending for a year and then trying to arrange a sale or loan, that's a bit of a statement of intent around taking a quick hit to be able to focus on other matters.
Which hasn't always been our modus operandi...

It's literally the best news I've heard in years. Taking a serious approach rather than trying to save some phantom "value" that ultimately just costs us more in the long run.

 

[billyiddo]

I hope he joins Millwall, he had a great loan there and was doing very well - another year or two in a settled environment will do his development the world of good given the lack of first team football in relation to his age so far.

Lets see if we do the same with Ndombele and co

You mean release them?

 

[parklane1]

Good luck to the guy.

 

[Gutter Boy]

You mean release them?

Him yes. And take nominal fees for Regullion, Lo Celso and Hojbjerg. Maybe give Davies a goodwill free too

Why release him if we can get someone to subsidise him for his final season
If we release him we will have to pay him a full salary to leave

That can be negotiated.

The re-signing on bonus (yes that's a thing), + the potential year of additional wages aren't worth the risk of taking on for another season if we can't get a paid transfer for him. It would be spending a pound to save a penny. We have done silky things like that in the past and it rarely works out. There is no great clamour to pay a transfer him, we know this because we've been trying to get a transfer for him for the last 3 years and it hasn't happened.

To spare the traditional pre-season stink and show the manager he is being backed.

No they don't and I've heard that from the horses mouth.

Because championship clubs probably wouldn't match his wages.
