If Henry had just been starting his career now, I don't think he'd have stayed with us either. He left when all the pressure was on his shoulders and didn't want the burden. He went dragged out contract talks like Nasri did, but spoke more in the press about 'sporting ambition' kept quiet about wanting to leave, eventually signed a new contract with us but left on a cheap. Take away all the sentiment, how is that much different to Nasri's case? It looks worse in fact. I'm talking about the situation and not their characters because I don't know them personally. I'm not slinging mud at Henry either because I understand why he left and when I was younger, I was upset, but I'm older now and you can't take such decisions personally. It's like all logic goes out the window with this stuff and I knew you'd bite the bait and start nit picking at the circumstances. They under similar conditions and if RVP left at the end of the season it would be similar.
No point in slinging mud at the players that want to leave. It's childish. If the fans can see there is a problem with this club, the players aren't blind either. Why the heck should they stay on board and waste their years for foolishness? So we can balance the books? Forget that. As for players with character...you don't know these guys, what are talking about? It's time to get a grip and see some sense.
