Especially as he doesn't seem to rate any kind of team ethic.
The guy is a moron end of. If I were the saints chairman I'd just terminate his contract and go to court to fight out any kind of compensation/wage demand.
I was having the same discussion months ago with a couple of scousers I work with. Sometimes you need to look at who the player plays with before you actually spunk £20mil.
Don't get me started. Virtually any other international side would have been built around a talented player like Matt. All huff n puff our lot with zero skill.
There's also the adjustment factor. Pelle, tadic etc would normally have a winter break but not here - probably the most strenuous time to be a PL player. Not there fault but it won't have helped. Next season will be better for them.
