Not sure where I'm spinning anything. He wants to leave, it's not a surprise nor do I blame him aside from it being pretty shitty that he is using the Brit media as an excuse. Granted it sounds like they make the paparazzi over here sounds tame but then again he brought a lot of it on himself. He should just say he wants to leave because he needs Champs League football and that is that.
Personally while you can't replace his talent I do think you can create a better all around team for LFC if he goes, guess we'll see.
