A long time - a couple of weeks.
I’ve really tried to rise above the negativity of the whole situation, but here he sounds like a 6 year old waiting for christmas. It’s cute coming from a 6 year old. It’s pretty pathetic coming from a 26 year old expecting us to believe that is what he meant.
Now it looks like you have given him some departing kisses
The thread in all honesty should have been created the instant he posted his good bye message.
Enough!
Fair play to the lad, on the Spanish. Easy to say ‘all the Europeans who come into the premier league speak English’ but historically most the English nationals playing abroad would struggle to do that and I know I would.
But but … it was the hardest decision he ever made…and he didn’t even decide until March.
The lying little twat has made fools of all who sought to defend him.
My German isn’t as good at 1700 days 
To be fair most of that was Portuguese.
Is that Andy Murray’s mother?
Careful now, the un-photoshopped version was reported and deleted
I’m kind of whatever about the whole thing at this point, but I really don’t like his older brother/scumbag agent. Seems like the definition of a dickhead.
I love everything he did for this club, but that’s it and I don’t really particularly wish him well as I hate Real Madrid.
I wish him well and will be even a bit proud if he succeeds.
I thought yesterday he handled it brilliantly and his preparation was one of the best I’ve seen from a foreign or non-Spanish speaking new player at Real.
I’m just at peace with the amount of great time we had together, perhaps he hit a slightly (too) comfortable zone and wanted a new challenge more than staying, which all understandable to me.
No doubt that I will miss him when I see the likes of Vini and Mbappe on the end of his brilliant passing range from deep, but we also have a very good thing going on so that helps.
I thought yesterday proved that he’d planned this for a quite some time.
Devious and disloyal
Everyone thinks about and plans for the future in different ways, players and clubs.
They have their career and leaving certain doors open, we have our eternal search and scouting of new players.
Conclusive proof that he was planning this for years because he spoke in Spanish for a minute.
Going by Nunez’s example, who still answers with nods and one syllable words after 3 years in England, he is a linguist but in reality, it really doesn’t take that much time to prepare something for being unveiled at a foreign club. It’s also weird that he needed an interpreter, but whatever.
Some of you have made your mind and nothing will change it. Knock yourselves out hating him.
This should really be the last word on this subject.
