You've all been Yozzald.

OK, so I added the bit about taxes - but it's nothing he hasnt said before...

"Of course we footballers think about it; we are not stupid, we keep an eye on it," Alonso said. "When you see your contract down by 30 per cent you cannot be happy. I cannot do anything – it must be Gordon Brown or David Cameron."

Can't blame him one little bit.

He's a ****

[Rigadon]

Why is he a ****?

Why is he a ****?

Because he didn't want to pay so much tax on earnings so he decided to move on. Of course tax was the only motivating factor behind his decision to leave

[danperkins]

Guess his affinity to the club didn't out weight his dislike of paying taxes even though he's ****ing loaded

[Arn]

He isn't a ****. Nobody can really blame a player that wanted out back then.

[Rigadon]

I'm not sure whether these posts are sarcastic or stupid

Nobody can blame him for wanting to leave a club that were trying to sell him.
