Most football clubs turn on their players way faster.
Because he gaslit the club and fanbase telling them he only wanted to play for Liverpool and captain the club one day.
He then rejects all extensions, runs his contract down and moves to maybe the wealthiest club in the world for free.
All we get is a condescending PR video.
🤷♂️
*terms and conditions apply
Such hypocrites.
He spoke fully about L’pool as city seeing itself as outlier about position of locals who play for LFC within that. How Madrid are seen as absolute authority.
Mix that with TAA who (apparently)said he would prefer Ballon D’or to winning Champ League…
It *was* personal
Both let their contracts expire and left to go to an overseas club yet one was given a hero's farewell with Liverpool fans singing Si senor for 20 minutes and the other booed whenever he touched the ball
But I totally disagree with the boos. Shameful.
Both the foreigners treated as hero yet the local lad, who gave them 20 years, is treated like garbage
Those Liverpool fans should hang their heads in shame.
This kid has given his absolute all for that club and signed off with the league title! Those fuckers begrudge him a move after >20 years at the club?
Pathetic behaviour.
You're doing a great job of changing opinions about how self aware Liverpool fans are!
but I understand the response. It’s not unreasonable.
I’m sure this move has been rumoured for a couple of years so they could’ve sold him
The realistic motivations are not that pretty.
They are allowed to not sign contract prolongations, and they are allowed to go work wherever the fuck they want.
Wild stuff, I know.
But, guess what, other human beings are perfectly allowed to crititicze them, get angry at them and even boo them for it, if they feel like it.
You are allowed to vote for Trump, but I still call you a stupid fuck for it.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Are you the kind of stupid fuck who genuinely believes employees owe undying loyalty to their bosses ?
Because you sure sound like it.
You are not owed shit, your club isn't owed shit, and I'm glad I live in a world where dumb fucks like you aren't in charge of work laws.
You can't always expect your wive to be applauding your bold move for self-development when handing in the divorce papers to live with your new trophy spouse.
Especially not when you screw her over financially quite a bit.
TAA has put is personal interests above the club, which is legitimate, but he no longer gets to enjoy the supporters affection or respect as he did.
Break-ups often hurt both sides.
