Whenever a prominent player gets sold/bought he's invariably paraded in front of the press and is obliged to say something even though he'd probably rather not. Because the press and the fans analyse and twist these statements to death the poor bugger can say nothing approaching the truth which won't cause offence to his old club and teammates or to his new club and teammates. So he says something which is likely to cause the least offence to the most people, which is invariably the kids/family speech. Think of all the high profile figures who've left their positions to 'spend more time with the family', disgraced politicians, business people caught with their hand in the till, etc, etc. It's the oldest ploy in the book and should be seen just as that.
Presume maths isn't your strong point. If he donated £1500 of a weekly wage of 25k that equals 6%. Someone on 25k a year would only have to contribute less than £30. Either way it was a nice gesture but he's gone for more money (who wouldn't) but it's the rumours of refusing to train etc that will have pissed everyone off. Livermore did things the right way.
He's a first rate ****. There were about 6 West Ham fans we were talking to on the way back to the car. They hate Snodgrass and think he's ****e.
Those rumours about him refusing to train continued, despite him quite clearly being in the club's photos of the team training.
He was in the form of his life with us this season He's generally bang average but a good set peice on him
I never liked the leeds twat anyhow. But I dont blame him for leaving, players aren't supporters after all and don't have the loyalty of fanatics.
Didn't Silva confirm it? Photos could have been old and used to keep up the illusion he was training.
