Good read.
Still a bit peeved the way he left the club, but, he fully deserves any success he gets.
And I've never bought into the crap you see in the papers. They've always been very harsh on the lad.
He's pretty grounded though and seems to have a good family around him to keep him level headed, even with the media on his back.
Its a shame, cause players not so strong will have their lives tormented by those w*nkers in the press. They really are a shameful load of f*ckers......well some of them anyway Can ruin some lives without remorse.....just to get their story
Pretty much sums up my feelings too. Yes his departure wasn't handled perfectly by him or his toxic agent, but we as supporters (myself included) took this stuff far too personally at the time. He left after a rubbish season, with Suarez already gone, to chase titles at City, who of course are not one of our rivals. We get blinded by our love for LFC and say we'd play for £10/week, but who amongst us wouldn't leave a job to go work for more money and, in his eyes, a better setup?
And yes, I have definitely felt more empathy toward the lad because of the shitty media with its thinly veiled racist agenda against him. He has conducted himself very well with each shameful volley of bullshit from garbage toads like Piers Moron, and I must admit I'm not sure how restrained I would be in that situation. God help me I'm starting to warm to him more because of these twunts always trying to knock him down.
Really interesting article into his background, and yes I'm made up that his little girl is a Red!
