I don't understand all the nasty responses. He was up front with the club and Pep true to his belief said , if he doesn't want to be here, then he can go.
That's good enough for me. At least we knew where we stood with him.
Again , good luck , he is a great player. Whether Madrid is the best place for him, we will only find out soon. Just like Palmer , who i think will get found out this season.
He spoke to the press before speaking to Pep, hence Pep’s angry reaction when asked about the comments.
Anyone that does it correctly and speaks with the club and doesn’t talk to the media is okay.
All this “good luck, I hope you do well” is weird when a player goes. Especially one that was only here two years.
Basic civility. He did well for us overall, decided he wanted to go elsewhere and we made a nice profit. I didn't want him to go. It may work out but i suspect he hasn't gone to win medals with Madrid but for family reasons
Indeed. I think someone posted a couple of weeks ago his brother(?) visa expired and wasn’t going to be renewed and that was a big part of why he wanted to go as his support network had basically gone. And ultimately an unhappy player off the pitch isn’t as productive on it
I like him. I thought he would actually take over from Haaland one day in the not so distant future and I will miss him overall
And like ZC and others, I wish him well
I agree too with the above, he was no bother when here, always came across as humble.
We should thank him for his service and for generating a tidy profit having contributed to our goal tally in 2 remarkable seasons. He didn't force a move like some of the players we've signed down the years by going on feckin strike (which is cuntish).
Nobody is making him out to be a saviour, the players are seen as nothing but commodities by some on here and I wouldn't want to work with or for some of you.
