Appreciate your sentiments but tbh and from my perspective he went about it the wrong way - didn't show any respect to club, team mates or the fans. If he had the reaction would be very similar to the reaction that SRL had. AL was the captain of the team has been with us through thick and thin but he just went about it the wrong way. I couldn't care less that we got a good fee for him or that he has gone to you. It's all about the right or wrong way of doing things. Oh and regarding the reaction to his leaving - I cannot remember a worse one to any if our players leaving not the Ox not Walcott not bale etc etc.
It's going to be a weird atmosphere at SMS when we play you - standing ovation for SRL and constant abuse for AL.
