I'll post one more time and leave it at that.
There is only one reason he left.
He wanted to move back to London. His family is there. End of.
He cannot say that to camera. It wouldn't look good to his new teams fans etc.
So he comes out with the usual pre-prepared garbage.
Or alternatively...
"So Raheem, what's your reason for leaving City?"
"Well Gary, Chelsea is a great fit for me"
"Oh and why's that?"
"Well Gary, me Nan lives just down the road, and and me local chippy is now only two minutes away"
Ratboy looking a little stunned.
"So what about being in a winning team and competing on every level"
"Well Gary, you cannot beat the night life on London. It's world class"
"No i meant on the pitch"
"Well Gary, there comes a point in your life it's not all about winning. Football has to be a work - family life balance"
Ratboy looking even more stunned.
"But surely football has to come first, it is your job and you are well paid"
"Nah Gary. The problems started when i asked Pep if i could have every Saturday off. My little girl likes to ride her Pony Saturday dinner etc"
"Pep also expected me to fight for my position every week"
"Even when i thought i did well, i suddenly found myself dropped for the next game"
"So what's the point of trying?"
Ratboy looking a little angry now
"Well Raheem, you were played several times when you really shouldn't have played. You had missed many sitters, and for some reason shit the bed when running in on goal"
"Well Gary, then you can see my point"
Ratboy "???"
"Well i don't have to do any of that hard work week in week out. Chelsea have said i can have Saturdays and most Wednesdays off"
Ratboy "Why Wednesdays?"
"Well Gary, i've heard Orange are bring back Orange Wednesdays and i thought i could take the kids to the cinema. Family life has to come before work etc"
Ratboy now speechless
"Like i said Gary Chelsea is a great fit for me"
