I can't believe you said that, really I can't. If you were in a position of importance in society, you'd have to spend the rest of the season apologising for that comment.
So let's say Luis wrote the letter with his wife and kids and brothers and sisters and his agent and 20 other people, so what, it still came from him and was endorsed by him, that's all that matters mate!
I didn't critizise Luis, I just wanted to bring back to memory that we live in a world where they talk the talk but don't walk the walk. Just recently one could see it in the german Bundesliga how it goes when R. van der Vaart was trying to push to leave the HSV to Valencia, where about 3 months earlier he used words like "fantastic", "like home", won't leave the club in any way" for the same club he now want's to leave desperately.
Pro-Football is usually purley!! business: it's all and only about money. Luis is telling how much he loved and did appreciate Liverpool...well imagine you telling this to your wife or girlfriend adding: "But now I need a new project...". This guy left. Period! That alone shows that he isn't a guy who really wanted to stay, who really liked Liverpool (he probably likes his home team more which is alright). I think he just feared the competition and that his value lacks for the future if he's just a back-up. Nothing wrong with this attitude. On the other side, EddieC made a good point, so I guess, yeah, Luis is alright and a good guy...but tears in my eyes? If Gerrard keeps playing for Pool and his last days are coming THEN, JUST THEN I HAVE TEARS IN MY EYES.
That's just my opinion and for sure I wanna state that my home is far from Liverpool, so that I may don't get the facts and the atmosphere the right way.
I liked Luis as a player and a person and it's nice he thought about 'Pool...well done, Luis, Cu later....
