I TOTALLY agree with Peter White (LET, April 15) - Graeme Le Saux is no longer playing with any heart or commitment for Rovers.

Therefore, the club should make a stand and not give him the easy way out with a transfer.

They should relegate him to reserve team football until he bucks up, or until his contract runs out, because, at the end of the day, he loses out if he is not playing first-team football or playing for England.

Anyway the club has had their money's worth out of him and a Premiership Championship. But the time has come when footballers must realise that they have to take the bad times with the good times and honour their contracts.
