Winston BiscuitSanguineWinston Biscuit Talksport just a stream of scousers saying TAA is a disgrace and is never welcome back at Anfield or the city again
Obviously some reactions pretty extreme - but I can understand the frustration with the way TAA has dealt with this. By all means express a desire to leave the club, privately - but don't run your contract down at your boyhood club.
That's a mindset i just can't understand. The club only wanted him to have a contract until summer 2025. If a better option became available for the club in his position, they wouldn't hesitate in bringing them in and sticking TAA on the bench, maybe even sell him. And the fans would be fine with that. But when it's the player that wants to go for a different option, and is abiding by the contract the club gave him, it's suddenly wrong.
I do think many fans just want to have hate figures in the game, and they need to work out a story as to which players/managers can fit it so that their hatred sounds acceptable/not mental. They've spotted an opportunity to be outraged, to kind of sound justifiable in their outrage, and in the modern world people absolutely love being able to show how outraged they are as it plays into the victimhood thing. Also makes them feel like they look like bigger Liverpool fans.
Well, look at Haaland. Do you think Haaland wants to play for City for the rest of his career? Or does his ten-year deal lock in value for City as and when he decides he wants to play for Barca or Real?
I don't think anyone is surprised that TAA wants to play for Madrid. But in the modern game players do move when they want to move. As I mentioned above, Mac Allister signed a new contract with a release clause at Brighton precisely so that the club would get a transfer fee for him.
