wormy Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 If the family issues are true, then his dad is even more of a classless cunt than if there are no family issues, that's for sure. Just don't know what to think of this anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 They seem to actually think we're just going to hand him over don't they? 'Here ya go, we're in a relegation fight with an already weakened squad but please, take our best player and the heart of our defence...for free!'

Guest Phil K Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 No ill wife, no baby, no personal problems apart from massive regrets on signing a new deal and he wants a free transfer home. He's an asset worth a value, it's why he gets paid so much and if he wants to go back home he/a club/sponsors need to pay up. Starting to get f***ing sick of his poor me attitude the f***ing state where in, which a daft sending off, injuries on NT duty plus average performances haven't helped. Yeah, fed up too. The whole wife lies, expecting the club to just accept a loss of MILLIONS without batting an eyelid. His father seems in it, supplying the bullshit too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 If his motives for leaving are sinister and he's practically jumping ship - I'll be fucking gutted. I absolutely love the player, would be a crying shame....lose a ton of respect for him as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was him I'd tell his father to cut out the shit and keep this personal between himself and the club. Only when things are sorted should they talk about it to the press willy nilly like he is. Gone down a lot in my book and his father is a straight up cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Mike, wrong, absolutely wrong. No one would blame him to jump if we relegated, but he, as a captain, deserve to be burnt to death for jumping ship during our relegation fight. I will lose all my respect on him if there is no wife illness etc. He is a captain, fucking hell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will lose all my respect on him if there is no wife illness etc. He is a captain, fucking hell. I just can't do it. He's made it clear well before the end of the window he doesn't want to be a part of this again. So it's the responsibility of the club to bring in a suitable replacement. Honestly, whenever he made it clear that he wanted out (assuming we go down) he would catch shit for it. Captain or not, his heart isn't in the fight and he wants out. I respect him for being semi honest about it. I don't care if he stays in San Lorenzo for four months and then comes back to Europe. He didn't betray us. Any player coming into the club this month know what they're in for over the next five months and what's expected of them, so we have an opportunity to move forward with players that are up for the fight, rather then hoping for occasional moments of pure class from a man that just doesn't seem to want to go through it again.

Kanj Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'm still clinging to the fact he will stay until summer, we will be safe from relegation and he ends his career with us. I'll be upset with the man who's supposedly our captain who doesn't want to fight, even if it means he helps lead us I safety and then bows out. Thank you and goodbye. But leaving now when we are in this state? Not what a true pro does to his club that pays him handsomely and gives him the armband. If he's upset with those running and managing the club, fine - but don't jump ship on us yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's upset with those running and managing the club, fine - but don't jump ship on us yet. I think I'm more cynical than you. He gets paid to do a job, and he does it. He's done all he's required to do. It would be something completely different if he was holding out or something. He shows up week in and week out and gets it done. That's the extent of his obligation. If he wants to go, that's fine. Work out the best arrangement for both parties and move on. If the captain of a club was obligated to eat whatever old shit the club served up and tell us how the peanuts taste, no one would wear the fucking thing.

Mike Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Except he's got a contractual obligation. Yeah, no doubt. He's honoring his contract by coming to the games and training. So we can leave it here, and wonder if we're getting 100 percent from a guy that wants to leave when we can't afford to wonder that, or we can thank him for the years and get the best deal and move on. No need to hate, no feeling betrayed. Just a stoic acceptance that our passion is a business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
