I value honesty

I can accept us being used as a stepping stone to bigger and better things and would much rather be told how it is, as we were in the case of Gyokeres as opposed to Hamer and O'Hare prancing about in Samoan Joe's or in a Sky Blue Wig telling the fans how much they love it here and how it is the best club to play for in the world and what not

Footballers apart from a very few notable exceptions are always going to chase the bag, at least be honest about it, don't try and bullshit people

All players are mercenaries, there’s no mystery around their motivations. Ironically it’s usually the pure mercenaries who get pilloried while the badge-kissers get celebrated, but for some reason it’s been flipped here and you’re just following the crowd.

I’m pretty sure that interview with O’Hare you mentioned was an AI-generated fake designed to wind people up btw

If you get 3 years out of a player you've done well. Players move on its football. Not many Le Tissiers and Steve Bulls around this day and age. Dublin one of the best strikers we've ever had and 30 years later people still spewing angry vitriol for him.

Yeah I remember that, it was AI generated slop to get clicks. He even said it was fake on social media.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Grealish didn't when he left Villa. He signed a new contract so they could get top dollar for him.

Difference is he knew he would still get a big move and payday because a number of teams wanted him.

Do you still think SU would have signed him if a multi-million fee had been involved too? If O'Hare signed a contract with us, any chance of a move, at least in the short term, was gone.

Where is that interview?

No it wasn't

He even admitted before the home leg he wasn't expecting a great reception as he had said a few things that were supposedly 'taken out of context'

Do you have a link to what he originally said?

 

[Briles]

I've had a few drinks, so excuse me...

But what exactly does "The Black..." as an introduction to a sentence mean?

As a woke, pinko, Guardian reading snowflake I'd love to have a nice cuddle (over an oatmilk latte) and discuss why you're such a lazy racist cunting twat.

It's the opposite of white you malingering crack head. An Adjective. Stating the only difference between them is the colour of their skin. If I called Joey Barton the white tyrese Campbell would your tampon have fell out? Go finger ya cat

I have posted it above

Along the lines of "I was injured, I come back, I was flying a few things happened and I was took out of the team, frustrating etc."

Not a fair version of events at all, he peaked during the Leicester game last season and bar a cameo where he set the goal up at Wolves he wasn't playing to the levels he had been for months

Robins was more than entitled to drop him and explore other options as he clearly wasn't gonna be around much longer

Not that it’s the most explosive or devastating interview I’ve ever seen, but isn’t he just being…..honest?

Essentially, he was dropped for Kasey Palmer.

 

[Grendel]

Essentially, he was dropped for Kasey Palmer.

Which would piss anyone off

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Essentially, he was dropped for Kasey Palmer.

His form had tanked, it wasn’t unreasonable to drop him regardless of the contract situation.

He could have said I’ll have a 50 million buy out clause for a champions league team but he didn’t ask for that. He made sure Villa got top dollar for him. I still don’t like him and think he’s over rated but he did right by the Vile.

It hadnt tanked, he scored against Norwich, got an assist against Millwall, then got left out against Plymouth, then got an assist against Stoke, then had a couple of poor performances against Preston away and West Brom then was bombed out. He was we instrumental in beating Wolves.

 

[David O'Day]

No, he was dropped for the a player who played in the same position who was going to be at the club at the start of the next season. That just happened to be Palmer.
