B-more Mag 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. What he's asking for is nowhere close to the best financial deal for both parties.

Mike Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Pro sports operate in an alternate reality where people can pretty much do whatever the fuck they want to do. There's only a handful of people in the world that can do what they do. So if they're the cream of the crop of that handful, they can write their own tickets for a decade or more. This is why loyalty to anything other than the laundry is just asking to be disappointed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ElCid 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, f***ing 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 s*** 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. Getting paid very handsomely at the same time also. If the rumours are true and his wife is not ill even more so. He signed a fat new contract last year and wanting to bale on us at this time of year when we are very close to being relegated is nothing short of being totally disrespectful to the fans and club he claims to love. If Lorenzo want him make them pay his worth or tell them and him to fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
