Confirms what was pretty obvious from the very early signing of Podolski. This decision was already made and the announcement was delayed until after the Euros. Obviously gutted but glad the decision was made early so we were able to make those 2 signings before pre-season even began. At least we won't be going into the season in a similar situation to last summer with Fabregas and Nasri.
That comment about disagreeing on the the way to take the club forward was pretty damning. Again, confirms what we all new about the club's ambitions, or lack thereof. He must be sold now. Absolutely no point keeping some cunt who doesn't want to be here, especially as captain.
He joins the same list as Nasri for me now as a cunt who gave us 1 great season then fucked off. All those years we waited for him to get over his injuries and other troubles and come good and for what? 1 season.
