So apparently he cut his holiday short to go on the tour and get to know his new teammates. He wasn't due back til august. THat's the right attitude. I already like this lad.

It shows he just loves to play football, and he knows what he wants.

In all honesty, I'd expect nothing less!

I'd never take a holiday again for the rest of my life if it meant playing 20 seconds of football for Liverpool

As Aldo said he is showing his love for the game. Which to me is a perfect example of him wanting to fight for his place and prove to not only to the fans but to his fellow team-mates why Brendan has brought him to Liverpool.

I never really understood why top-level footballers took holidays to begin with. They spend 15 years of their lives playing a sport, then retire and never work again. Tough life. You hit it on the head King. And not only that - if you're a new player at a new club with a new manager, the last place you should be is out on a beach somewhere!

Well said.

I cant get my head around this. You saying the players cant shouldnt have a holiday until they finished playing football???

Correct - given what they are paid I would expect then to take no holidays and be avaiable for us to view on webcam 24 hours a day 7 days a week. If they are out boozing or fornication we should be allowed to give them a electric shock by a single mouse click. Season tickets £780 what a joke they think I am made of money football is bonkers now. Golf might be the new sport for me.

Yeah, typically underclass sport compared to football these days 'ey?

Strange! Entertainers/jesters (just like footballers should be classfied as) used to work for their bread & butter, and be belittled/laughed at by the public not too many years ago. The idolized occupational groups were teachers, scientists, doctors, priests and the like.

What do we have now? And does this lead our society forwards? Extremely doubtful IMO!
