sharkyvilla Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Meh, they play in Croydon which barely counts as London. He could easily go to another country and get Champions League football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there are many better places to live and work as a young millionaire footballer than London. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 he's been anglicised, why play in the champions league abroad when you can earn more money here? and im sure he can live anywhere in london he likes and spend 4 hours a day in south london doing the day job 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, if he played he's cards right he would've got a better more suited move instead of jumping to the first club that were willing to pay for him. said it at the time Liverpool were totally the wrong team for him, didn't play to his strengths and it's no surprise it's ended like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a very well publicised release clause. Anybody else who wanted to sign him for that price would have bid that amount. Liverpool didn't kidnap him and force him into a red shirt under cover of darkness. His choice for last season was Liverpool or Villa. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Made the wrong move and has now paid an enormous price. I genuinely believed he'd become one of the best in the world, it's never going to happen now. He's turning into a bit of a journeyman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Yes only 4th choice striker for Belgium now when he used to be their first. Mind you i think he would have done better tonight than Lukaku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got a chunk of £32m and a payrise to play for Liverpool, now he's getting a chunk of £25m and at least same wages again to play in London, in the Premier League, for Palace. He'll probably go back to Belgium in his 30's, play for his hometown club and feel like it was all worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but if you've got Premier League striker money then you ain't gonna actually live in Croydon are you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 good move for him, Pardew will treat him a lot better than the clown at Liverpool which says it all. wingers plus Cabaye set pieces will get best out of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Palace have only bid for him, as far as I can see. And Liverpoo have rejected it, according to the Liverpool Echo, which isn't surprsing because £25M isn't that much really, at the moment. He might end up there, but I don't think it's certain.

tinker Posted July 2, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Our Most expensive £32m sale ever, makes the Milner /Ireland deal look competent. We should have insisted the 32m was paid up front in 1 pence coins. Watching him on the bench for Belgium, while lu kaku lumbered around the pitch missing chances, does make you see how poor decisions can influence things. If he had of stayed , no relegation and Belgium would have beat Wales with him in that team . Edited July 2, 2016 by tinker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 When Robson-Kanu scored with the Cruyff turn last night I had an instant flash back to a time when I used to see finishes of that quality regularly. He's had a poor season, it was a poor move but shit happens. He'll be back I'm sure and this talk of his shot at the very top level being over is utter nonsense. He'll get his head down, be number one again and bang in 20 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
