the transfer window is shut, he's off when it opens

 

Hasn't stopped others from signing for new teams though has it ?

He needs to go soon. His presence is a massive discomfort to me when I see him with his pretty good stats languishing in my reserves in FM.

Same here! Currently locked in talks over Fernando Torres' fee, f***ers won't accept £23m, they want nearer to £27m :angry:

That seems to be what's doing the rounds.

 

I think that was just a rumour started on RAWK, everyone there jumped on the band wagon and it took off.

It was a joke, someone posted a video of Gonzo from the Muppets singing a song, think it was something like "Someday I'll be back there" with a fake news story and saying the clip was an interview with Gonzalex and everyone started going mad without actually watching the video.

He was involved for Chile against Equador, not sure if he started the match.

Dammit. If only someone had posted about the Copa America in the General football forum :rant:

He started at LB and was at fault for both goals. He switched to LM in the 2nd half but didn't really influence the game.

good article, Mark Gonzales speaks well of Benitez and Liverpool)

 

http://diario.elmercurio.com/2.....84BAB5.htm

 

from El Mercurio, Chile

 

headline: MARK GONZALEZ: “Going to Betis was a step back.”

 

The leftfooter in any case declared that he’s confident he’ll recover his identity as a “big star” in the Sevillian team (which he has signed with until 2013) to renew his options to sign for another big European team.

 

by “El Mercurio’s” [Chile] Felipe Vial, special correspondent in Puerto Ordaz [Venezuela].

 

(caption under his picture: he didn’t play a good game against Ecuador.)

 

Mark Gonzalez admits his season in Liverpool was mediocre and that he was far from realizing his dreams after the “Reds” put their sights on his abilities in the left flank. For that same reason, the leftie see’s the Copa America in Venezuela as a timely opportunity to “avenge” his campaign in England and establish himself, for once and for all, as a key national figure.

 

And he admitted it without evasions, that even in the victory against Ecuador “though I didn’t play a good match, in the end what counts is that we won and that we started as we all expected to, winning.”

 

Obviously the national team was the main subject on his mind (see box), but earlier the [player] born in Durban (South Africa) referred in some detail to his “sad” exit from Liverpool which finalized only some weeks ago, just prior to returning to Spanish football, this time to the green and white colors of Betis.

 

“I feel that all this time in England helped me very much in the [technical] football and also in human [aspects]. I’ve matured very much as a person…”

 

Q: But don’t you feel you were a failure at having only been one season in England?

 

MG: “It’s understandable that the people think I was a failure not being able to establish myself and triumph in England. And the truth is that at some point I also thought that. However I now see things in a different manner. Like I was saying, I’m at a new stage in my career. Much more mature. I won’t deny, yes, that it hurt and that it was difficult to decide to leave Liverpool, because you “work your ass off” to get somewhere, to a big club, and it hurts not having been able to establish yourself in a team as important as Liverpool. In any case my departure could be seen coming. I needed to play and my options to play in Liverpool were scarce. Therefore, I go back to a league in which I already triumphed, in which I had two very good years and in which I should not have any problems readapting myself back to.”

 

Q: In that case you think it was a step back to go from Liverpool to Betis, right?

 

MG: “Yes, sure. It’s a step back, but I take it as a positive step back…”

 

Q: Positive?

 

MG: “I mean to say, I take it like this: like a step back today to take two steps forward tomorrow. In addition, I’m not going to such an unknown club, Betis is an important club with a lot of tradition and that historically has been in the middle of the standings and higher in Spain.”

 

Q: Is there any resentment in your relationship to Rafa Benitez, the Liverpool coach?

 

MG: “No, no. On the contrary. I left very grateful to him and all the people at Liverpool. You can’t forget that I had three more years in my contract in England and I could have insisted on being paid it even without playing, but I don’t like to work like that. In truth I felt that the doors were left open to me in Liverpool.”

 

Q: Do you think you will return? Normally such opportunities come only once in one’s life…

 

MG: “It’s a cliché, but it’s true: football and life have many turns. What I was saying, going to Betis was a step back, I don’t deny it, but a step back to in the future take two steps forward. I’m convinced that’s how it will turn out.”

 

Q: You signed for six years with Betis, isn’t that tying yourself down for too much time having these plans?

 

MG: “The thing is I signed that contract knowing that my stay at Betis might be short.”

 

 

 

6 year deal bit of a long deal that!
