Arbeloa

Why do people get bitter and spiteful when players leave? It is a natural part of the game, circle of life baby.

Someone rep this for me please, I need to spread.

Many people are irredeemably shite.

 

Life has taught me such things.

[Guest TK-421]

Some of the treatment towards Xabi has been nasty as well, a player who has acquitted himself with dignity and grace throughout his spell and helped us land two great trophies. Sort it out, Reds, or Tom Ross will bum your sisters. Again.

[The Dude Abides]

I hope you are taking the piss

 

Literally.

Totally agree,

 

Johnson's understudy or Reals first team with Kaka & Co

 

If we really wanted him to stay we should have offered him a new contract a year ago.

[TommyW]

good luck to him, did a decent job though I do think we've improved on him with Johnson,

 

he wont be in Real's first team though Nick

What do you mean 'you agree'? You've been calling Alonso all the cunts under the sun over the last few weeks.

[Duncan Clench]

He's been a good servant. I wish him all the best. You can't have a go at a lad who's done well for us and always worked very hard.

[Manny]

I reckon he'll go there and play a lot at left back. Their defence isn't great, but they're piss poor at left back. Heinze is finished and Marcelo isn't a defender.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

I am pretty certain that Arbeloa will do poorly for Madrid.

 

Rafa made him what he is - tactically perfect and very solid.

 

Without constant instructions from his manager and a team full of players around him who also understand the value of positioning, pressing and making the right decision, he will struggle, in my opinion.

[AvB]

Sad to see him leave. Bad move career wise. Dont think he is suited for Real Madrid. I think he will move on to Getafe or something like that next year. Its all going down when you leave Liverpool.

[The Acolyte]

Xabi as well. Remember Stevie wanted to go to Chelsea? Pepe said he'd like to go back to Spain at some stage. Nando wants to end his career with Atleti.

 

Fuck the lot of them off and sign committed boyhood Reds like Robbie Keane and Craig Bellamy

 

Shut up bell whiff you know exactly what I mean. Christ you sound like a S*n reader!

Even when Stevie was all set to go he never whored himself to the extent of Arbeloa and Masch and what Pepe and Nando have said was in regards to the future not the here and now.

[The Acolyte]

Or, he just wants to go back to Spain after 3 years in England.

 

Funny, I don't recall him saying that inbetween all his Real Madrid arse licking!

[Red Mist]

£3.5M is a rubbish sale. FFS we're talking about stupid Real Madrid, they get swindled by everybody yet they always seem to take complete bargains from us! Macca, Owen, and now Arbeloa, all moved to those cunts far below their actual value. We could have got at least £6M for Bob from another club.

[Carra_is_legend]

Problem was there was no "another" club.

You'll notice none of them had long left on their contracts.

[The Acolyte]

That has to be just about the sanest point on the whole thread.

 

I'm embarrassed its taken this long for this fact to be pointed out and that I didn't make it! Spot on!

[The Acolyte]

I would go for a cb that can play lb and Distin would be ideal.

 

Would also help Johnson settle in having a team mate from the club he just left alongside him (thats assuming they even got on!).

[el nino laff]

Good luck to Bob always liked him thought he was a solid replacement for Finnan who I thought we would find it hard to replace...

All the gobshits slating him need to kop on he has 1 year left on contract and we just spent 19m on RB plus he gets to go home...

[BENIRL]

Fair play to the lad getting a top job back in his home country.

[Sangria]

No problem with Bob leaving, good luck to him. I think the main gripe people have is the fee we received and that was hardly his fault.

 

We maybe should take a look in the mirror as to why he had a year left, good luck and thanks.

 

I understand bitterness when it is justified but in this case it is certainly not.

[ToxtethTerror]

Fantastic player and one of the gents of the team it seems. I am stil pissed off Carra had a go at him. Good luck Bob.

[The Acolyte]

One of our only proper utility men gone. Hard to replace in this day and age. Writting was on the wall from at least half way through last season. Like many others I think we could've got more but the contract situation has fucked us again.

[WaltonRed]

He'll be back.

 

Will he even get in the team?
