Why? What does he owe us? Transfer money? He cost us nothing. He's been with us his entire career. Wouldn't begrudge him wanting to experience football somewhere else. Just hate that it's real he's been turned by.
Maybe trying to get back in the good graces of the club? Probably has to given the shenanigans he pulled to get transferred away at the end of his time here (second biting incident...).
They've made it happen before with Beckham and Messi. They have a "Franchise Player" thing where only part of a certain designated players salary counts against the salary cap meaning an owner could pay a player basically whatever they want if they are willing to to. Not saying MLS could pay him Gulf money, but could be similar to what he would make in Europe. And from what I have read he doesn't sound that keen on going to the Middle East because of the politics. In the US he's just a footballer. The landing spot I am keeping an eye on is San Diego (for obvious reasons). SDFC (I know not a very creative name) is an expansion team joining next season with an Egyptian owner. That's fair enough he's still dead to me because he screws Liverpool over and puts the club in a worst spot, which means we are less likely to win and more likely to lose, which makes me sad. Basically that simple. My clear thinking logical brain completely understands it and recognizes that he can, and should do what is best for him. But if I thought with my clear thinking logical brain I wouldn't wake up at 5am to go to a pub and watch Liverpool play, I wouldn't spend 100+ dollars a month to make sure I have access to every Liverpool game on TV. I wouldn't spend my vacation time to fly 6,000 miles spending thousands of dollars to stand for 90 minutes watching a game. Basically the only reason he is a millionaire is because none of us are thinking with our logical brains, we are thinking with our emotional brains. So he can't say stand there pumping up the crowd kissing the badge building up our emotions on one day and then go "seeya it's just business why are you getting so worked up?" the next day. The emotional connection is the whole point so he's going to have to accept that we're going to be angry at him if he leaves. NOW of course there are limits, I am not excusing racist S***, or threats, but if he becomes persona non grata or even gets booed on his return I wouldn't have sympathy it's a decision he made. Also it's the only leverage we have as fans, especially for a player from the City.
