I can only echo what the rest of you have said in here.
The bloke’s seemingly a sex addict, and has absolutely no consideration for the consequences his actions have on the people around him.
Exposing himself in a bar? Gross. If he wasn’t a footballer and mega rich, no one would go near him.
I feel so sorry for the kids that are involved, it really summed it up for me when he considered moving to Bayern to run away from the mess he made.

I think even 'legitimising' him as an "addict" is kind......
Some people are just trash.
Yeah maybe. Regardless, he has an unhealthy attitude towards sex and women
They're not mutually exclusive.
An addict is just someone that can't self-regulate their behavior and stop themselves, even when aware that their behavior is destructive to themselves and the people around them.
Footballers are a dangerous recipe for addictive tendencies.
I'm aware of this......
I just reject the default "addict" excuse just cos some tosser parent can't keep their dick in their pants..... At least wait til a pro has diagnosed them as such.
You don't by default send every murderer to psychiatric detention even though it's blatantly fucked-up behaviour.
They are also in a unique position to gain the very best help when seeking self-improvement.

That’s why I said seemingly. Even if he’s not an addict, he’s acting like one
Hence her post including the word "seemingly". Calm down.
That's pretty wide of the mark honestly. The acid test for an insanity defense (at least in US courts) is incapacity by way of the inability to understand right from wrong or the consequences of one's actions. Addiction is a disease, but it's not a severe mental incapacity. He does seem like quite the weapon however.
I don't need to "calm down" thx....
I'm talking more broadly than

's comment at this point...... (Sorry if it felt that I was continuing to wag a finger at you Carrie; I wasn't suggesting you were an apologist.).No. Not especially...... It's only a loose analogy regarding jumping the gun with ready-made excuses (of which there are number accumulating in this thread and beyond.... "Gold-diggers", "poor maladjusted football millionaires" etc. etc.).......
Want another one? .......So-called gambling "addict" Ivan Toney (who hasn't the slightest remorse nor accountability).
LOL..... You think.
If (!!!) I'm an addict with a sleazy problem that I'd prefer not to subject my family too; there are less brazen ways to go about it that inviting my mates and a bunch of hookers round for a fuck-party or having 2 love-children with the same woman over the space of a number or years.
(I was just watching a video about borderline child abuse this morning where the whistleblower has since become vilified as a grass due to some really shaky sentiment.... So yeh, 'excuse culture' is kinda fresh in my mind.)
Seems to me that you do in fact need to calm down, because you're ranting.I don't need to "calm down" thx....

No I'm not.
If you've nothing to add or counter-point with you can stop replying tho.
Why would he lie about it, to perserve his reputation among Spurs fans? I doubt he cares about that, he's a City legend.
Because it sounds better than "my head got turned and wanted out"
Pochetino said exactly the same thing in his book.
Really? That he didn’t want him?
If so, that’s fucking daft on Poch’s part.
But I never remember it unfolding like that. It was more like an open secret that he was off to City and the deal was done with a minimum of fuss.
Regarding Pochs book:
Pochettino spoke of a meeting ahead of the aforementioned campaign for which Walker arrived late.
"Walker came into the room late," he said. "Not good. Something clicked in my head at that moment." He went on to add that "seeing Walker turn up late to the talk was the trigger I needed to tear into them (the players)."
Later the Spurs boss speaks of how he decided to give a chance to an in-form Kieran Trippier instead of Walker. After an international break in April, Trippier played games against Watford and Burnley, while Walker was drafted in for a clash against Swansea City.
"Walker came to my office after the Watford game," it's noted. "'Gaffer, I've been at Tottenham for nine years. I've thought about it and my heart isn't here any more. Nor is my head. I've given all I have to give. I wanted to tell you before I tell my agent that I want to leave this summer.'"
Pochettino added that he felt as though Walker had shown "an alarming lack of respect for his team-mates and a slap in the face for the club" by asking for a move while the team was competing with Chelsea for top spot.

No, that Walker wanted to leave.
This sounds more likely TBH. Poch wouldn't just say no he's not in the plans unless something big happened between them.
