Excellent post from Mark; but I think the issue is that few players share that kind of loyalty anymore.
I think only a handful of the local players might feel that, but even Gerrard nearly left.
Mcmoneyman did leave, and he's from Bootle.
Rush,Souness, Keegan all left and they were locals even if they werent Scouse.
At the same time I think there is some loyalty from some of our foreign players, though at the moment I only hold Reina in that category.
It's our own fault, I guess..we imbue so much in these 'men' to the extent that we get our children and families in this mess like we are and when we're let down as we always are they share our pain.
Why should they?
Fuck Torres.

In which case you shouldn't be saying 'Fuck Torres' but 'Fuck modern footballers'.
I expected Torres to be different because he's always given across the vibe that he understands Liverpool and what it means to the fans.
I'm saddened that he would ask to leave at this specific moment in time; 3 days before the transfer window closes.
I feel betrayed by one I used to defend and argue was special and not like the fucking Adebayors of the world.
Turns out I was wrong.
