With the art students and the boys in bands

Hello anon! Yes, I am aware it was by mutual agreement, the club could not unilaterally terminate his contract while he's injured anyway.

You've got a fair point, I don't disagree with anything you said about the club's side. However, I'm not totally convinced Edi saw this coming and I guess that's what's bothering me looking from the player's standpoint, the timing seems a bit off to me.

I have not been following club news like I used to, but from what I could gather, Edi was currently working with a recovery plan of a couple of months in order to be able to come back for the last semester of his contract and retire on the pitch. He underwent the latest treatment like a week ago. Who knows if it will work, but I think that parting ways with the club right now was not expected. No one owes him anything though. Life is not fair, let alone football.
