Sending players to the stands for not renewing is not good practise and very likely could have legal implications. Spanish PFA warned us about that and said we could face legal action if we put him in the stands for 6 months.
If he won't stay sell or terminate rather than keep him in the stands.
Lol what about all the other players at other clubs who are part of the squad, but don't even make it to the bench? The club can literally make up any reason to leave Dembele on the stands every game, and there's not a thing he, his agent or anyone else for that matter can do about it. 'Xavi deems him not good enough' just one of those. Not that the club is even indebted to say anything, they don't have to give a reason. Unless they're stupid enough to openly come out and say we're leaving him on the stands to punish him, which they won't do, even though we'll all know it is the reason behind it, if it comes to that.
