Now being accused of racism. What on earth was Rodgers thinking of signing this clown? http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/30289692 To think he could have had Remy for. 6 million less.
He was a bit stupid to post the image but if you read the full details of what it said, he was (in a very naeve way) trying not to be racist. His brain works in a slightly strange way though.
I remember this being widely applauded as an "inspired" signing, with the main arguments being made in defence of it being "well, it's a great piece of business at £16m as Shane Long has gone for £12m and Sunderland are willing to pay £14m for Fabio Borini." All well and good until you realise Long is quietly grafting away and chipping in with the odd goal in for a top 3 side many expected to be at the bottom by now and Borini is as much a £14m striker as I am.
i did read an article arguing once that he is essentially a little mentally unsound, but because he's a famous footballer, it gets laughed off and ignored whereas in the real world, he'd probably be offered help.
The world's gone mad. Can't say anything without someone being offended. Eventually no one will say anything and then people will ask why sportsmen are so bland and boring.
Meanwhile innocent people are dying from disease and war.
I honestly cant see how anybody with an ounce of common sense can be offended by it ,apart from people who would cross the road to be offended , did the offended know is mum is Jewish a woman he is very close to there are people who use ism's and words that end ist to feed their purer than thou images
He has to be one of the most over rated footballers I've ever seen, I don't think I've ever seen him have a good game apart from once when Italy beat Germany about 4 years ago,
We have to take an uncompromising line on anything posted on social media that might be considered in any way offensive. Or risk Rio playing for us again.
Seriously, sometimes you just have to roll your eyes and get on with life.
We live in a culture of permanent outrage that blows up stuff like this into a 'story' even though it's just a young guy being a bit of a dick. Is anyone actually offended? Does anyone even care?
No but what I do find offensive is how this thick lazy oaf can continues to steal a living. As Dave B says he's gotta be one of the most over rated players in the history of the game. Rodgers must have been insane at the time of that transfer completion.
If I was him I would have stayed at AC for another few years. He was in great form over there - and could have returned more mature and probably better!
Chubs I gotta agree with you and Dave on his ability as a player but this point is the politically correct bully boys picking on an easy target in the form of a simple oaf to show the world how Puritanical they are
