I mean, what actually IS this great fascination with a couple of these Spanish teams?

I know his missus comes from there and he has a house there too, but is he REALLY going to be that much happier and achieve SO much more, and is he going to loved by the fans as much as he was here?

I just don't get it.
So much promise and hope for him and the rest of the club if he'd stayed with us.
No, friggin' nuts imo.

Its a spectacular city to be fair as a starting point

Weather is a bonus

Language is a bonus for most South American players

History and prestige of the club

Guaranteed to be competitive at the highest level year in year out

He is probably a fan of Barca too and getting away from the British press would help too, there will be a honeymoon period with the Catalan press for at least a few months. LFC cannot match the prestige of Barca and Real, in fact, even United can't.

All of the above and Tapas.

Yeah forget the rest, patatas bravas was the deal clincher!

They are a bigger club than us

As for this loving him Liverpool is a small city and he will get a lot of grief from evertionians so I dont think loving him is likely to be an attraction.

Under FSG Liverpool are clearly a low to moderate ambition club if we had big plans then a player of his statute might be interested in being a part of it but we dont.

So he is off and I cant blame him, I would too in his shoes.

Tapas would seal the deal for me.

and sangria!

Pickpocketers

I worked in Madrid once which is nothing like as nice as Barcelona but it was a very nice lifestyle and the having a beer and tapas at midnight is the culture. They get up late and work late to avoid the heat which makes for a chilled out lifestyle.
