It is getting ridiculous now. We have started to get used to being bullied by the likes of Barca and Liverpool. Recently it looks we might have to get used to being manhandled by the likes of Celtic and Palace. But now even our own players have the cheek to try to intimidate us.
Since when has a contract ever been cancelled when it only benefits the player? Hard to admit but we really have become a laughing stock

Countless other teams too. Not that it makes it ok, but this stuff happens a lot.

They didn't ask for their contract to be cancelled. Yes they wanted to go and made it clear. Basically putting pressure on us to sell them. Kos asked for his contract to be torn up, when refused he went effectively on strike. Seems to me a new ball game

Btw, if kos stays, what are the chances he still be captain
Country: Scotland
Guarantee if he was injured he wouldnt be asking for his deal to be ripped up. Or if we said we are ripping it up he would want a massive pay out. Gtf Koscielny send him to the reserves.
He won't be staying if he stay I think he'll be like 4th choice and stripped from the captaincyBtw, if kos stays, what are the chances he still be captain

He's done here for sure

I have seen loads of players refusing to train/play etc. But all those players wanted out of the club, however none suggested their contract be cancelled. Neymar is putting pressure on PSG to sell him, he isn't expecting them to cancel his contract.
Country: Scotland
Neymar hasnt asked to be released and if he goes PSG will get a massive fee. A player striking to force a move with a transfer fee and a player striking so he can be released from a contract they willingly signed is not the same thing.

Not surprised Koscielny wants to leave. Most of his old teammates are gone and most of the back room staff have changed
That said he's handled this terribly

Splitting hairs here I think. Cancelling the contract is just a detail of this particular situation.
By the way I want to be clear I'm not trying to defend Kos. Just saying this is not really that unique a thing to be happening.

Maybe it is just me, but to me it isn't the same at all. Atleast when you put pressure on your club to sell you, they still can get the money they want for you. Here the club isn't compensated at all.

I am puzzled that some are surprised to hear that this situation is common occurrence in professional football. Most of the times, clubs handle and deal with those issues internally. I still can't comprehend why AFC went public about it.

Not going public about it would have only led to a lot of rumours and fake news. Was right I think to come out straight away with a statement to prevent all that.

He did the job he was paid to do and continuously made errors in big games costing us many trophies and also in regular Premier League games. Koscielny has been a mainstay in so many terrible defences and is quick to crumble. Terrible captain, mediocre player who had constant mistakes in him.
