Before the season started, midfielder wise, I'd have moved on AOC, Keita, Milly and Thiago - but never expected Hendo and Fab to both go too.
So don't agree with anyone saying 'everyone' wanted shot of him.
Was disappointed he wasn't going to stay and pass on his experience, and thought he could still 'do a job' - though as it turned out we've managed pretty damn well.
OK we got 12mill in for him, which was good - but he chose to head off, instead of fight for a place.
The guff about growing the league in Saudi and all that bollox - he went for the cash - so spouting the other reasons was annoying, and even after all the rainbow races stuff etc.
Don't feel sorry for him - what the heck did he expect going there?! And now can't even stick out a full season !!
We're doing fine without him, and not really arsed about whatever is said about it, he's basically made his bed.
And though have great memories of Hendo being at the club, raising the PL etc, and he was a very good servant, he has deffo taken the sheen of his legacy in the club/game.
Still not finished though, will likely get another club, so has a chapter or two left to write.
