He left for the big money, obviously, he's not going to admit that though.

Totally agree and when a player is coming into their last few years of their career then you can’t blame them too much for wanting a final big pay day contract, but he could have left without coming out with the BS about not being loved.  There was nothing stopping him from leaving with his head held high. People in the public eye will always come up against criticism from idiots on social media, does he really think he won’t get some PSG fan giving him grief on social media if he has a bad couple of games.

On Twitter?  There's some of that in this very thread!




If I want to call him a twat on here for saying twattish things then I will.I also thought that he should've been offered more than a 1yr extension.

What is your problem with that ?

Nah mate, you left for money. Which is fine, its only a job after all.

Take the blood money from Le Sportwash FC which makes you a twat in itself, and slag the fans off on the way out. Don't let the door hit you.

He framed it in the most negative fashion he could, like it was no big deal the support he received, to me anyway. Came across as entitled and petulant which is the opposite of what I would expect from him.

I blame the Guardian somewhat

The headline is all about the social media abuse

Yet the article, the interview made it clear some of that was after the contract stalls and were about him "wanting to" leave

It's a poor headline done for click bait, I bet they wanted a racial angle.

The actual sum of it is different than that but he still comes off as arrogant

Fans get attached to their club (obviously) and the players at the club. 

The same does not apply to players. Even those who have been here for a while.  (Obviously there are some exceptions - Dagger. Xabi. Luis.)

Also, there is such a thing as exiting at the right time.

Gini stayed one year too long.

This summer is the ideal time for a couple of other regular starters on the team to leave.

Timing is everything.

This is what he said about the supporters in the stadium:

“The fans in the stadium and the fans in social media were two different things,” he continues. “In the stadium, I can say nothing bad about them. They always supported me.....
I got so much love not only from the fans but the manager and the players, the people who worked at the club..... It was really difficult and also emotional. A lot of time I had to fight against my tears. The love everyone showed [during and after that final game, against Crystal Palace] was beautiful.”

I don't see what is "negative" about that. Or why it is "entitled" and "petulant." In fact I think it is probably you who is being a bit precious and negative.

Maybe he could have just said nothing at all and saved all this.

“He’s not being rude. He’s just being Dutch.”

Doesn’t reveal anything we didn’t already know, just detracts a wee bit from the character Klopp lauded. 

He’d have been better off just keeping quiet and just focusing on his new club and surroundings.

Dont blame him one bit.

Weird how people judge others strictly by their own morals. The guy is his own person and will take things in different ways to many many others. Its funny how when you earn well you seemingly become a robot in the eyes of the average person. Abuse? If I was earning thousands a week you can call me whatever you want. Leaving? Its for the fucking money, guaranteed!

Seems quite an emotional guy and some people take comments extremely personally based on their upbringing, how they live and how they view themselves. Social media is fucking disgusting for abuse and if you're someone who takes this kind of thing personally it will affect you significantly.

Good luck to Gini, thread sums up the kind of shit he's talking about strikingly well. The running theme in the entirety of ginis time here... top class guy, honest as you like, hardworking as fuck, lovely person. The second you say something people online disagree with... fuck off, moneygrabber, bullshitting us, all for the media etc

Rather ironic

So had we offered him what he wanted, he would have signed here would he not? Therefore the reason of him leaving because of online abuse is absolute nonsense. Not that anyone should have to take such abuse and that they shouldn't speak about it, it's just that most of us don't buy that the reason he left was because of it.

And as already pointed out, it's not like the abuse is going to stop online now that he plays for PSg. Unfortunately.

He may be completely misguided in feeling he will be more appreciated by PSG fans, if he is that's his mistake to find out. But to brand the guy s bullshitter because he's said something they dont believe is a bit much.

No one on here has anyyyy clue about the contract shit so bringing it up is pointless. In the entirety of the time of his contract running down i've yet to see a single RAWK member post any single piece of any genuine clarity from a great source on it, nothing but speculation. He would have done this is pure guesswork so who fucking knows :lmao why come out and apparently lie when you can say nothing? Doesn't come across at all as the type to do that, never once has in all his years here but suddenly turns into this bullshitter he's miraculously kept under wraps from us, teammates and the management for years... highly unlikely.

Still hold no ill will towards the guy, the internets fucking mental. Imagine being consistent with the rule and the exception is what is leapt upon

For the record I'm not branding him as a bullshiter, I think the excuse itself is bullshit. That doesn't mean I hold ill will towards the guy or think he's a c*nt,etc... .

Given the fact that he himself said that he wanted to stay, because he was so happy, then it just makes no sense that now you're claiming that the reason you left is because the online abuse. because had we offered what he wanted, he would have stayed. Otherwise he would have left regardless of us giving him what he wants, because he felt that strongly that he needed to leave due to the online abuse.


Multiple things can be true at once. Whatever the case may be, it's a poor interview.

But its pure guesswork.

What are the details of the contract situation and how did it come to be that he left?

Now using your answers are there actual known facts to back up the answer to the above or is it guessing and filling it gaps with 'this probably happened'? If it's not proven shit then it's guessing and assuming in which case it's not really realistic to write off his reasoning. I'm not answering, your question in the previous post because i'm not in a position of knowledge to know, as far as i've seen, no one on here is

Potentially he may have wanted to stay due to the factors of the fans in the ground, the manager, staff and his teammates all being great and he may have felt unappreciated by other fans due to all the online shite and felt leaving was a realistic option too. Multiple things can be true at once indeed

the only weird bit is the arrogant shit about the Barcelona game.  All the support he got from Klopp here, his good fortune at their careers interacting like this, and that’s his parting shot, telling the world he didn’t listen to him cos his feelings where hurt at being dropped to the bench. That is not a good look for a ’team-player’.

Otherwise, have at it really, makes some of the idots on Twitter look bad, and makes Gini look rather precious  ;D

But Twitter is cess-pit, and the more that call it out, the better.

He's not wrong in what he said...he's not stupid either, so knows what saying that will invite

If he chose to include that in his departing statement that's upto him, no less a legend in my eyes for what he has done for us, he's pissed off with a portion of the fanbase and maybe is trying to make a point though I doubt it will change the way those people operate

I would have preferred him not to take a shot like that, as its part and parcel of EVERY team's following on social media not just us...as he'll probably find out at PSG.
I dunno, imo if you don't like it just block or come off it like other people do...choose who you interact with and read what you want

I wasn't aware he got so much abuse to be honest - can't imagine it would have been worse than the likes of Leiva

In his defence I doubt it was easy for any of the players the last 12 months with mostly empty grounds. It means you’re gonna read the expected abuse online without any of the support in the stands to counter it. It’s easier to ignore the shit online if you’re having your name sung around Anfield.

The bit about the Barca game is a bit petty really. He’s spoken about ignoring Klopp and how angry he was multiple times. Not sure it needs stating again.

Of course it won't. They'll be congratulating themselves on a job well done and will now be turning their attention to the next player they don't rate and want out. After all, it's now been shown to them that their tactics work (whether it's the true reason for his leaving or not doesn't matter, they won't care).

Players should absolutely call out the twats, over and over again, for being twats. But as soon as you imply that they have got to you, that their actions have had an effect, that's handing them a victory and ensuring that more of your teammates or ex-teamamtes will get the same.

Which makes it even more confusing as to why he mentioned it.
And I agree - most of his interview was actually commending the people he loved but it gets lost after he said those words. Why give them the attention?

Barca game mention was an even more baffling statement for me. Interview wasn't the best light on him regardless.

However, same way the people that gave him abuse which was out of order don't represent the majority of the fanbase
This interview won't represent what he meant to this club imo

That’s a very specific example. Anything you’d care to share?

He just refused to put the seat down!
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

To be honest, the whole story is a bit strange. It's 80 percent about how great Liverpool is and 20 percent about how awful some of the "online-fans" and the media are. There is one sentence in there about FSG and when I read that I thought "Okay, here we go, he'll say that they didn't appreciate him as much as the team and the manager did", but it never comes up again. It seems to be a bit of a PR-move justifying going to PSG, but I don't really see how it was supposed to work. That's like leaving your family and moving to a different city and then going on about how much your family loved you, how your neighbours were great, but you had to leave, because they guys ten houses over didn't like you. I'm not really buying that, especially when you look at the fact that the idiot-quota on social media and the internet seems to be 95 percent and it will be the same for him at PSG. Should have just said, it was great at Liverpool, there are some real dickheads online, but in the end he couldn't agree a new contract with Liverpool and PSG made an offer he liked. Nothing wrong with that.

Lol at the overreaction. if that's how the man felt he was treated so be it.  Leave him be as hes a PSG player now.

Spot on. I really can't see the need for anyone to get upset apart from the #PleaseBanMeForALongTime boys who wanted a full on demolition of the owners or the bellends on Twitter who gave him grief.

Seems to me it was just a case of the club and the player not coming to an agreement (it happens) compounded by bellendery on Twitter.

Lol at the overreaction. Some of our fans are fickle as fuck and get outraged over very little.

There is another option. Mr Ferguson organises the fixtures in his office and sends it to us and everyone will know and cannot complain. That is simple.

Quite hilarious how certain 'fans' start going mad on those hideous social media sites because Gini has an opinion and has decided to voice it publicly, and then completely contradict their own argument by voicing their opinion of it online. It's like the lad is somehow banned from having feelings or something. Agree with him or not, he's entitled to his opinion, end of.

More footballers need to be transparent about being in it for the money like Adebayor.

Loved him when he was here.  But, I was just watching a 'why are psg interested in gini' video on youtube and it really puts those kind of videos into perspective, seeing it from the other side. 

From years, it's really not hard to put together an impressive selection of clips.
