I actually had some sympathy for his situation, he'd been promised he could go and this shoud have been sorted out months ago.
But even if he felt he had to do what he did against Citeh, it was a shitty thing to to do and it cost us.
So, thanks and all and fuck off.

i seem to keep pulling you up on things recently, so sorry about that, but honestly i can't see how the guy deserves any sympathy whatsoever. what he did was unforgivable, and i don't see how it could have been our responsibilty to go knocking on barca's door to arrange his transfer - really likely to guarantee a nice fee, that.
we kept up our side of the deal - that he could leave as soon as we received an acceptable offer - and he should have respected our position just as we respected his.

I 'had' sympathy,and we should also remember that he gave his all for us last year even though he wanted to be somewhere else.
But he hurt us, and for that he can rightly fuck off.

Yup, for one game he lost all the goodwill. If he had played, patient for the deal to be struck, he could have left with heads held high.
