Am i the only person that doesn't hate him? He's been one of the few players to really get me excited. Everyone else we've played in the last few years has been monotonous predictable and in the end ineffective. I felt for him when he wasn't getting played and can understand why he wanted to leave completely. To want to leave a team he has played so well for and has just been relegated having been left out of the side consistently, whilst other midfielders were proving ineffective must be so frustrating. More than understandable in my eyes.
He'll go down as one of my favourite players thats for sure.
I don't hate him, I feel sorry for him and that in his position I too would probably want to leave. He is the sort of player that our shinny expensive new strikers needed behind them and yet we sat him on the bench until our striker were so demoralised that they stopped looking for the ball. Personally I found it maddening that we refused to play the football in midfield that we needed to to bring our top two most expensive players into the game.
Wes did go down in my estimations after his outburst but not for his transfer request, i thought that was pretty reasonable.
