I’m really gutted for him that he is sitting on the bench earning £160k after tax a week
That’s what happens when you chase the money
Players that seem to think they can leave us for bigger and better things or simply for a better contract rarely end up having anywhere near as much individual success and end up bouncing from club to club before long. In the last decade or so, I can’t really remember anyone other than Suarez, Masch and Alonso who actually went on to really benefit as a result of leaving.
Sure he will win trophies, it’s a near guarantee at PSG and the standard in France but he will play little part.
Gini can’t keep his mouth shut either and always has to moan. Remember when he was benched vs Barca (the very rare occasion he didn’t start), even though he came on and got 2 goals, his focus was on saying how pissed he was about not starting. Left us and he was talking a lot about us and the way he left, now he’s moaning again and he’s only been there 5 minutes. He expects to play every minute of every game regardless of his form. If he was that bothered about playing, he’d have stayed and accepted the contract that was offered to him and chance are he’d have played every minute up to this point.
People will argue he wasn’t offered what he deserved. But at the same time forgetting that large parts of last season he was absolute sh*te, games passing him by every week and at a time when we most needed him to step up with an injury hit team, he was nowhere to be seen. Maybe he was offered a contract on reflection of a decline in ability as he gets older and the expected emergence of Elliott and Jones and the level of importance to us soon expected to be reducing over the next year or 2.
Think we all knew he’d end up missing us before we missed him.
