Why does everyone want Heitinga to go?

[quasi modo]

Awful season last season, massive wages for a bit part player, heart not at the club.

 

[runlikehell]

One year left on his current deal
Huge wages
Not a regular starter
Doesn't wanna be here

That is why

 

[The Hibbert Agenda]

His wages are disproportional to his ability.
If he was earning about 35-40 then cool, but so long as he's earning over 60k, if he's not going to be our starting CB (and a titan at that) then out you go please

 

[mightymoyes]

hes crap, on massive wages and going to leave for nowt next summer anyway.
why does anyone want him to stay?

 

[Eggs]

...he gives the impression he's seeing out his contract which wouldn't be to bad but his attitude and performance has been poor when called upon.

 

[Allezfan]

And if he isn't going than what was the point in bringing in Alcaraz. Do we need two international defenders on the bench?

The thing is we just don't need Heitinga. And we can use that 65k a week a lot better elsewhere.

 

[riddick]

Sixty five thousand pounds per week.

this with a 'for a **** player' added in.

 

[By god I'm blue]

I reckon he will go out on loan, with some Turkish suckers paying half or all of his wages with a view to signing him permanently in 12 months.

That will at least free up another 65K a week!

 

[Mozza1987]

Because he is crap, simple as that

 

[Nickpop]

I like him. Easily the best footballing defender at the club.

THIS.

Only problem is he never plays like the best defender at the club.

 

[Arteta10]

How do people know he's on 65 grand a week?

I'm not doubting it like, sure hes on somethin stupid like that, just interested to see if it actually says 65 anywhere or if everyone is just plucking numbers out of fresh air!

Sylvain Distin. He's still good but we need options. Plus the capability to play a back 3 if we want to dominate possession.

 

[pfim]

He'd be a useful bench player, but if you can get somewhat decent money for him, he has to go I think. I don't think he's in anyone's starting XI.

 

[Mogsy_Efc]

He will leave on a free next summer if we don't sell him now. He is going to be sat on the bench this season, whats the point in missing out on the 3 million odd to put into the transfer kitty for this season?

This....also if we signed Ronald Koeman in a playing capacity his passing and free-kicks may still be awesome but his defensive capability wouldn't....Heitinga's lost his skillz.
