Exactly, it is a fixed term contract on the bases he is an employee of the club for the term of the contract. He both parties decide to end the contract early (a transfer), then he isn't "due" the difference in pay, this is just something he is asking for to agree to leave, it isn't a legal right.His contract is not performance related. The club took a risk giving him the contract. It doesn’t matter if he hasn’t played for the five years or not. As far as Harry is concerned, he hasn’t violated the contract and it’s a fixed-term contract, so he is owed that money.
It just demonstrates that short term money is more important to him than his playing career. He is being offered a four-year contract at West Ham which is more money than we are due to pay him over the long term. He just doesn't back himself, never had the right mentality.
