Wooden Hearts want him?
So it's a case of Return To Sender!

Probably more like getting the wage bill down
Oh. You do disappoint. Occasionally.
Often - or so I'm told
Your online persona is better than in 'real' life?
PS WJM has been in great form of late
Its very much the same I think typical Scottish sense of humour with a chip on my shoulder occasionally but for the most part can laugh it off- The belated CC (once of BHA) now of AV used to call me RCN (Rab C Nesbit)
BTW who is WJM - Did you mean JM ?
Aye to W/JM
There was a great joke spoken in the Commons the other day, which said that when Teresa May put FO next to Boris' name, that was meant as an instruction rather than a job offer. I speculated greatly about what CC did at the Albion, but I now invoke that instruction for him.
Following a frustrating season, which has been limited to just 28 minutes of first team action, Brighton, the player and his representatives met last week for talks. The outcome of the meeting was conclusive: Manu needs to find a new club in January.
Speaking to Voetbal International, Manu said, “It was a good conversation, the club understands my situation and said that I should be free [to leave the club]. The good news: no one has to pay anything. I can go for free.”
When asked about possible destinations Manu was unequivocal, he wants a return to the Eredivisie. He said, “I have shown it at Feyenoord and Cambuur. I’ve even proven in Europe that I can play, a return to the Netherlands would be good for my career.”
Therefore, Manu’s agent has contacted clubs but there is no firm interest yet, but the player remains hopeful of attracting a team in January. He told VI, “I am fit. I train twice a day. Moreover, I have played games in the second team and I train for myself. I’m still eager.”
Following a previous successful spell at Feyenoord, thoughts naturally turn to the chances of re-signing for the Rotterdam club once again. However, this seems like a long shot and Manu just wants to focus on playing, that is his most important aim.
The player acknowledges this adding “I’m not openly applying for a place at Feyenoord. In the Netherlands, they know what I can do. I am now 23 years old and just want to play every week. I want to show that I am not forgotten the next six months.

Sorry to be pedantic but my understanding is that he's not being 'released on a free'...? Shame we're not going to recoup some of this money though. The one bad signing of last Summer and probably the last 15 months or so, so can't moan too much.
Free? Will anyone pay that much?
Plus probably a settlement if he's agreeing to end his contract early.I guess we are still paying him until he's actually gone.
