Don't buy that line Gerrez. Am I suppose to be grateful that he managed a whole two years of his original 4 year contract and a whole year of a 4/5? Contract extension he signed less than 12 months ago?
He's been told publicly no from the club and that's without even having the balls to put in an official transfer request. That should be that. There's no buy out clause which he could have insisted was put in (or refused to sign an extension) if he was that "honest" about being able to go to Madrid if they came looking. Funny how the pay increase in that extension kept his mouth shut then though eh?.
There was also no way he thought at the start of the season we would make CL by the end of it so I don't accept the "he deserves to play CL in his prime" bollox either.
So what he committed to was a long term contract without any caveats to Liverpool FC.
I actually don't care if he goes just not in this underhand manner. Man up, put in the request, lose all his payoffs & bonuses. Don't cry like a bitch all summer and make us lose more money & respect over the twat.
I'm not sure I should feel sorry or see things from his point of view in any way whatsoever. Despite empty platitudes he's made it clear he's no longer loyal. So he has none of my respect anymore because he's no longer wanting to be part of our club.
