It erodes trust in other players looking for deals and you lose a good player for free.
What are they doing? Did he kick Emery's dog or something?

If he isn’t in Emery’s plans, then there is no point signing him on a new contract.
His transfer value would not just be based on the remaining time left on a potential new deal, it would also be based on how much he earns.
If we get landed with another Ozil style overpayment, that is bad all around.
But to be perfectly honest, I’m so jaded with the whole thing. I wish we had a sport that had a salary cap system to mitigate stupid contract values and which made real management more rewarding.
Unfortunately it never can and never will in a sport that won’t even enforce FFP.
