Big Poppa said:Freddie was well within his rights to express his opinion. But I think he looks silly questioning Arsenal's ambition and then moving to West Ham. I think his own ambition should be interrogated - he wanted to stay in the comfort zone of London rather than move to Florence, Fiorentina are a far more 'up and coming' side than West Ham, thats for sure. He's 31 soon and has probably lost his final opportunity to win a European trophy.
Do we know that a move to Fiorentina was even possible, realistically? We heard a lot of puff in the press about it, but did the clubs say anything?
To be honest though, money also probably played a big part in things - he probably plumped for the biggest contract he was being offered, and whilst West Ham were pretty rubbish last year, I don't think they're really as bad as last year's league table said.
I guess that still doesn't explain his comments though.
