Chrisjraby Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 The rumours won't stop until he signs a contract, we all know that. A couple more wins and we should be in a reasonably "safe" position, so if he delays even longer than that, maybe we will have a fight on our hands?

Kevo Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 He looked like he was a player wanting to leave yesterday. I can't see him being here next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I've watched a number of games both in person and on telly recently and I really can't see I've seen this supposed change in body language. Must be just me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 What a load of bollocks people talk on here at times. He's playing the same as he always has you clowns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading far too much into the smallest of things, like the Lovenkrands thing which was absolutely nothing. Why would he give a fuck if he wanted away?

Wallace Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Even if he wants to leave, I don't get his recent attitude. He needs to continue performing to attract attention (unless he has already agreed a deal elsewhere) and the fans are continuing to be supportive.

Must be just me. I think the change or lack of change in body language is the fact that people are actually now looking at it! He is a very laid back individual by nature and always has been. He still celebrates goals he is still playing well and he is still clapping the fans don't see what more he can do tbh! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that had him run seventy yards past about five players and putting a pinpoint cross in. Cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to wear a t-shirt under his shirt with "I want to stay forever, promise" and take the shirt off everytime we score win a throw in, corner, tackle, goal kick, freekick, complete a pass. Until then the can fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Too much smoke for there not to be fire. I've pretty much accepted that he'll be sold in the summer. He's given us 4 years of mostly quality service, so I hold no grudges. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 His body language has definitely changed. There is a lot more back-chat to the officials, loads more shakes of the head, and a face like a smacked arse quite a lot of the time. I still love him, but I think it's unrequited now.

I agree with this - it's not to a huge extent, but there's a difference and to me it's noticeable and has been for perhaps the last month... His performances and effort on the pitch are still the about the same as before - maybe even better. But to me he doesn't look like he's enjoying things as much.

Gallowgate Toon Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I think that the slight changes in his body language show a player who is undecided on what he really wants. I don't think anything's a done deal as of yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Too much smoke for there not to be fire. I've pretty much accepted that he'll be sold in the summer. He's given us 4 years of mostly quality service, so I hold no grudges. Pretty much my view. His performance on Saturday underlined what a fantastic player we will be losing - Leighton Baines can kiss my arse. But if the likes of Barcelona and Madrid are hovering there's not really much we can do except get the best price possible and try and get a quality replacement.

Punk77 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 4 years of quality service? I think he had some weaknesses the two first seasons. This is his 4th year, and it's first now he's playing well in PL. He's a good player, defensively in particular, but he will not be as hard replacing him compared to Colo, Tiote or Barton. Both Colo and Tiote are very skilled with the ball, which is unique when considering the position they play. Replacing his offensive play will not represent a challenge imo. He's too ineffective in good positions, compared to eg. Baines. The challenge is to bring in a player that's is as good in defense. Although, we got to remember that he got one of the best defensive supports in PL through Jonas. I remember that Enrique had a couple of weak matches in the Championship when Jonas was injured..

Taylor Swift Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 He's been excellently defensively for all his time here. You could see from his first few matches that he took his time to settle in offensively, but he was always a beast in defence. It took him maybe the first season to sort out his shit passing and there are still stray passes every now and then, but there wasn't a winger who got the better of him in my memory.
