From day dot he professed his love of Perennial strugglers Liverpool. Atletico and LFC were, as far as he was concerned, the only clubs he's ever cared about. He's continually (the last time, 3 weeks ago) declared he was committed to the club with no intentions of leaving. He's also said he would never LFC for another english club. Hence why all of this has come as such a shock to fans, no one ever dreamed he would leave and especially not to a top 4 rival in england.
His comments show a complete lack of respect and also more importantly, that his professed love of the club was just a facade. Either that or he's trying to justify to himself a reason for leaving.
