I'm not sure why he thinks not putting in a transfer request is such a noble thing.

So what you're saying is you wanted to leave, but didnt want to give up your loyalty bonus...? Disrespectful.

I love LeTiss.

I just want to add that Jose repeatedly says he gave no "written" transfer request but never says he made no transfer request verbally. He seems set out for a career in politics...

Taken from the interview.
JF: I spoke to the club and said there could be possibilities [to move] and I would like the club to consider it.
Is in my opinion, him telling the club that he wants to leave, or in other words, a transfer request. From his own lips.
If he hadn't wanted to leave, the last part of that sentence would have read
"and I do NOT want the club to consider it."

Yep, don't know why he's complaining. His reception was okay, even though I though his air punching was a little over exuberant.
The club acted in a professional manner, he was thanked when he left, his time here will always be appreciated, but now Jose, you are just a Hammer, so rinse them and STFU.

Best to remember the good times and the fact that quite a few fans considered him in his last season as a 1st team starter. I suspect it wasn't the money that bothered him, but the length of the contract. I can believe that we may have been dithering a bit. He's best to keep quiet now....most fans remember him fondly....best to keep it that way.

Yes, he's couched it in the vaguest terms possible, but he's still done it. Perhaps he's got a case about outside people saying he'd behaved poorly, but really, come on, Jose. This is football media rumour, speculation and reporting.
 
I'm confused. Fonte left months ago, why the interview? Nobody really cares now, left us a bit in the lurch but the club had plenty of time to get a replacement. They didn't, out fault. Ho hum, we march on.

I don't think Jose demanded the interview. It was just pre-match for their game against Chelsea tonight and Souness/Sky steered the questions that way.

Martin Caceres played for the u23s tonight and looked in good shape
