The way in which this query was posed to the 57-year-old was that followers are solely upset as a result of we’re not getting cash in return for the departure of a homegrown expertise, one thing Jamie Carragher addressed, however there are extra causes to be upset.
If we have a look at Raheem Sterling and Fernando Torres, each of those males left and we acquired cash in return – displaying a switch payment doesn’t at all times sweeten the deal for supporters.
The issue with our vice captain going is that there’s no cause for him to take action, if he actually is a fan of this membership.
He spoke prior to now of emulating Steven Gerrard, desirous to be a membership captain and stating he’d by no means play for an additional crew.
As a substitute, he intentionally selected to signal a shorter contract in 2021, let his contract run down and has left for no cash but additionally turned his again on his individuals and his metropolis.
If we acquired a switch payment that may have befitted his abilities, it might have helped however definitely not be sure that there can be good feeling about our No.66 leaving by way of the again door.
