I could write so much about Raheem, but I think everything and more has already been said throughout this thread.

He's a great player, a special human being, and an inspiration to so many. I'll always admire his strength of character to withstand relentless attacks from the media and to keep on fighting, and we saw that so many times on the pitch, as well. Even if he did miss sitters, he'd get back up and go again, every time.

He's made a big contribution to the club and been a major part of our success over recent years, and he ends on a high with that crucial cross in the Villa game and this classy message for fans and staff.

Thanks for everything Raheem and all the best, except when you play against us.
 
Strange he said this before the transfer was made official. I can only guess an announcement will be made today in that case.
 
It is evident from both his statement and his video that the hate aimed at him, does really get to him no matter how hard he tries to shrug it off. Which is a real damn shame. Hope we never resort to that shit.

Someone used the term recency bias elsewhere, and I think there is a fair bit of that here too, and in reality we will miss him on the pitch a lot more than we let on. Happy with the move and the timing and all, best for everyone, but chunky gap to fill there.
