Except that he still has 3 years at £70k a week left on his Stoke contract, which adds up to over £10 million even without bonuses. Despite that, wouldn't surprise me to see a headline in 10 years time saying he is broke.
If I were Stoke, I’d be exploring “breech of contract†and get rid of him that way without having to pay up the remainder of his contract.
Additionally, I would not be surprised if any sponsors he has, drop him like a red hot brick.
In my opinion, this finishes his career, he will bounce around the lower leagues and sulk.
He will of course blame Albion for all his “misfortunesâ€, because we refused to sell him to Spurs. In his mind, he should have been integral to Gareth Southgate’s Englan plans, delusional fantasist!
