Marseille fans aren't best pleased. They think he's a greedy little bastard. He's basically their version of Joe.They also think coming to us is a step down, the cheeky twats.
He's been there since he was a young lad (5 it maybe 7?, checked, it's 5) so I guess it will feel like that to them. I understand and empathise given what one of ours did.I suspect Marseille couldn't offer what we and various other Premier League or La Liga teams did. Plus, let's face it, he's now in the biggest and best league in the world.

Good players leaving is always a pisser but iIt's not quite the same though in that he hadn't signed a new contract and so his departure shouldn't really be a shock to them. Greasy pissed off a year after signing a new one with us and giving it the whole "my club, my city" bollocks.
The irony of a Newcastle journalist accusing a player of snubbing the barcodes to join another club for money....https://twitter.com/caseysean51/status/1528678794030096384?t=_kjCb_7tioNL-isKPZSM7g&s=19
