I doubt whether European football had anything to do with his decision. Purely prem wages and contract for him and another fee for his agent who presumably had already pocketed a fee for the loan 2 years ago and trousered another for the transfer last year.
Yep. I got talking to a Mackem in a shop a few days ago and he said he couldn’t believe what we’ve done to Clarke. We must play him in the correct position or sell him in my opinion.
I agree. Doesn’t seem particularly relevant to me especially as we’re the kind of club who did not ask for a fee so that Morsy’s move could be best facilitated.
I wasn’t, until recently, aware of his motm in season 23-24 interview reply to the question ‘will you be here next season?’ Words to the effect of ‘only if my agent thinks it’s the best deal’. Also evidently the manner in which he left Arsenal. Plus him doing his trademark celebration when he scored against Chelsea last season. Obviously his recent behaviour. Doesn’t indicate a man who respects his team, management or fans. No welcome back to Portman Road from me.
It’s possible of course but I don’t think so. Omari’s circumstances are completely different from Broadhead’s He clearly benefitted from KM’s coaching in our promotion year and indeed last year as he matured as a player. He presumably has a lucrative and medium term contract with us. We are led to believe that he wants to move to a prem club that may potentially struggle to stay up this season rather than stay with us and potentially be playing prem football next season with us. It was his choice not to play against Auxerre. There’s no reason to accuse him of arrogance in my opinion but that apart, I think the fan reaction of disrespectful is quite understandable and has nothing to do with the colour of his skin. If you think differently then we’ll have to agree to differ. 🙂
Firstly you introduced a racist accusation which most posters seem to think is wide of the mark. Then you’ve labelled anyone over the age of 50 as being more likely to exhibit racism or at least less likely to recognise it. (Do you have any evidence to substantiate this?). If ageism is not racism it is certainly prejudice. Now you’ve pounced on a remark by a long standing and from what I can recall a non contentious poster with a very disrespectful comment. Are you on a windup?
I am of course aware that racism isn’t always overt and I agree that sometimes attitudes towards players can be distorted by prejudice but hasn’t racism being suggested ludicrously in this case?
Broadhead is not generally in the starting line up and his motivation for wanting a move is generally understood and sympathised with. Also we don’t know whose call his absence in that game squad was.
KM specifically said that it was Omari’s request not to be involved against Auxerre. You really think racism was involved in the differing fan reactions?
