I don't dislike him per say

I have a problem with the fact that he was here for 18 months ( injured for 5 months ) obviously well paid , pretty much appreciated by the fans ( not go so far as loved ) and from day 1 he was obviously looking at a way to leave

I believe he , along with most footballers these days , used the club to his own ends and his agent has gone around stating the buy out clause ( which I believe the club set a bit low ) in order to get the move

Had he moved to a higher club for a higher fee , I could accept it - however to jump at the first opportunity to a similar sized club smacks to me of desperation - he should not really have come here in the first place

I believe however he cared for th club ( see his reaction against Burnley for an example ) but he is a footballer , who at the end of day has a commitment to no one but himself - I suspect this time next year he will become a Charlton or Wigan player for a similar fee

So my problem is his attitude towards MY club - the greatest club in the world - he was playing for MY club and showed no loyalty to MY club , therefore I will call him Judas e
