Realistically you should have said the same thing about Vargas, Jair and Appiah. They are in the exact same situation as Jowic, the only difference is that Jowic isn't playing anymore and the others are playing elsewhere or in search of a deal.


Also, if you think our season is resting on the availabilty of Jowic we are well and truly buggered.
He wanted to leave - when he was contracted to the club (if that's not true, then you're right)
As far as I know, Vargas, Jair and Appiah's contracts expired at the end of last season.
See the difference here?
It's the club's choice then, whether they mutually agree to end - or modify, in this case - the contract.
To their disadvantage, I believe: of course the season is resting on the availability of good players, especially when other good players are going to be unavailable for a long time - aren't we talking about team sport here?
