Sounds like he is definitely getting bad advice from his agent, but if he wants regular first team football, it won't be with us.
Something else though....I wonder if the club changed the terms of the contract due to his injury...I mean, they might have verbally agreed something pre-injury and then tweaked it at the last minute, hence Goose and his agent refusing it. So when the agent says that the club didn't follow up the verbal agreement with something written, they might well have done...just not the verbally agreed version.
In any case, what sort of club are going to sign a player that is only halfway through recovering from a cruciate injury and then will still have to regain full fitness? And if they do, what sort of conditions will they be wanting to put in a contract? If he wants to be an ass and leave and go to Newcastle or Sunderland then let him. He will be the next John Oster and disappear down the divisions and end up back at Plymouth.
Someone needs to give the lad a shake and tell him he might well be f*cking his career if he leaves now just cos he can't play centre mid, which he is not good enough to do anyway. He should look at Anichebe...the penny clearly dropped with him when he was injured...he cleaned up his attitude, stopped moaning about playing on the right and now he looks a player. Ossy too...not my favourite player, but a great servant who has never moaned about being stuck on the wing.
Am sick of agents and players who think they are better than what they are.
I don't think Moyes would overlook a written contract being presented to one of his players
