If he doesn't want to play for us, we will release him. You and everyone else needs to deal with it. The sooner the better.
I'd lose a lot of faith if we tried to force a player to lose an entire season of his career out of spite.
And if anyone is pissed that we are losing a talented player for free, now you understand why we need to allow transfer fees between clubs. It's the only way to make contracts have any meaning to the club who's offering it.
