1st he wanted to leave because of the "media" and it would be hard to say no to Madrid. He said these things to try get out of our club while keeping the fans happy. Soon it became clear that Madrid weren't that pushed on him.
Then he went further and admitted he wanted to leave for a CL club and is even prepared to leave us for Arsenal! Who haven't even won a trophy in almost a decade.
When we rejected their bottom of the barrel offer he then threw his toys out of the pram and ran to the premier league to step in.
This is a player who has been suspended for (i think) 14 games so far in his short time with us, with 6 more to go.
Its time for us to get rid.
If he stays, I can only imagine his behaviour on the field getting worse.
Maybe Jac, but I believe that as the World Cup is looming, he'll buckle down and keep his head (and fangs) down. He will not want to lose the opportunity to play in such a major competition.
