TheKingObv 10,649 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Replace 'it was always cold' with 'I was fucking brutal' and you have a more accurate story of why he was shipped out psb07158 and Loyal72 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineeRFC 233 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Seems thick as shit as well, stating the reason why going to Russia was that Russian teams can't recieve money from British teams as a reason a departure to Russia didn't happen. There's a war on don't you know? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote However, with the war that is going on there, it was something that could not be carried out because European teams are not allowed to receive money from Russian clubs at the moment I think. Did you miss the part where he explicitly said there's a war going on there? EngineeRFC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jela 20,586 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 "I like to play as an attacking midfielder, but positioning is something that I adapt to the team for who I am playing" That's the bit that stuck out to me tbh and it makes total sense as to why he looked like a fish out of water playing in the midfield 2. We have a Bizarre history of playing players out of position Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I think he perhaps needs to have a look in the mirror at some of his own flaws. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,614 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Meh. Completely inoffensive interview. Was every chance he was being light-hearted with the cold comment, but aye let's be pissy about it regardless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stated the reason he didn't go to Russia is that due to the war, European teams cannot receive money from Russian clubs therefore the transfer could not be carried out. I would be expecting someone to say along the lines of: "Russia is a facist state which due to imperialistic ambitions have attacked a neighbouring country and is at war and I wouldn't feel safe going there". Who in their right mind would put their family in that situation? But no, the transfer couldn't be carried out due to European clubs not able to recieve money from Russian clubs. Also, Russia's pretty cold To quote another poster, good riddance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually taking the piss with the "Russia is a facist state which due to imperialistic ambitions have attacked a neighbouring country and is at war and I wouldn't feel safe going there", thought it was over the top enough to get that across. The point I have been trying to make is, siting sanctions as the reason for not going to the cold cold country of Russia instead of heading into a war zone with your family is very strange indeed. For whatever reason, that's the part of the Russian war he decided to pick on, and I find that a bit fucked up when people are dying and being put through what they are in that country. Me personally, I simply wouldn't mention there was any interest from Russia. The Specky Forum Organiser 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
