It’s all gone a bit needlessly sour hasn’t it? Such a shame.
It was time to move on - he’s been a shadow of his best self for a few seasons now and both club and player obviously needed a refresh. Simple as really. But interviews like this make it more than what it is.
Acting like he’s been a world beater chained to the bench is a bit odd given his performances and essentially (apparently) asking for KDB wages was deluded. Not only that, he was started - with no real reasoning or validation after the season he’d had - in the Champions League final and did nothing.
Like I said, a shame how it’s ended really.
