NathStPaul hughsies no.1 hughsies no.1 Know I’m in the minority here, but this whole Liam Moore saga is a mess and I can’t wait for him to come out with his side of the story - if he ever does.
He’s a decent Championship defender, always rates highly for blocks, clearly respected and liked by his team mates and has been made a scapegoat by the club.
He had his head turned by a move to Brighton, who wouldn’t given where we were and then was offered a bumper deal when being told we are not accepting £8m for him or whatever it was. Why wouldn’t he take that?
In terms of ability I’d certainly rather have him at CB ahead of Holmes at present (I know Holmes has a bright future but his performances of late have been awful).
I don’t think Moore’s performances have been any worse than the golden boy Laurent who gets let off the hook every week by fans just because he gives us a clap or many others tbf.
Good luck to Moore and hope it works out for him - genuinely don’t think he’s the bad egg the club are making him out to be.
A very good statement from Moore on his Instagram this evening - even more convinced now that he’s being used as a scapegoat by the Club and a proportion of our fans.
Why? He isn't going to come out and admit he is a complete cnut is he? He is all words and no action, if he has something to say then he should say it and provide evidence.
As referenced though, I don't think there is just one side to this story either.
I've personally always seen Moore as an honest, professional and committed footballer. If other don't, that's fine, but I have since he has been here. I think he was right to be our captain as he earned a lot of respect in the dressing room that was absolutely tarnished by the club statement a couple of weeks back making him out to be some sort of villain, which I just don't believe.
If someone wants to leave to progress their career, fine by me, but I don't believe it was all his decision, I think he has been forced out due to his wages and the clubs situation. It just doesn't all stack up that Moore is at fault for this whole debacle.
