My post wasn't directed at you, per se. There has been a lot of speculation about whether Springs is happy here.
I agree with you about the cat and mouse game between him and the FO. It does seem like he wants out, and he's using his contract as leverage. My only question is: does he think he'll get a bigger contract in FA? That would be ridiculous. He didn't play the entire season last year, and he didn't do anything spectacular either. Why would he think he could get a big payday in FA? Maybe he just wants to go to a contender. That is the only reason that makes sense to me.
