So he's being asked to take another wage cut, with deferred payments until who knows when, on top of the fact that he may never realize those deferred payments. All while he's second choice behind Busquets and it is clear the club don't view him that well as an advanced center mid due to their signings of Kessie, pursuit of Bernardo Silva (not sure if it is really true, because he'd cost a bomb), and whoever else is a better natural fit.
I understand one's love and affection for something, but when they clearly don't reciprocate that love, affectation, and appreciation...you do have to stand up for yourself and know when to walk away due to poor treatment.
FdJ would be a tremendous add to the club and to the league, but ffs man, read the fecking room.
