Got no issue with this, actually really like it. Why do we insist on living in this fantasy world where people tell us they always wanted to play for TFC and even though we know it's a lie we lap it up?
I'd much rather athletes be honest, and not be vilified for being honest, rather than hear the monotonous pre coached nonsense in each interview. He is here because he hasn't got equivalent, preferred options in Europe, that is obvious, why not say it? There's no disrespect there and it sounds like he's focusing on the positives, but if Monaco wanted to sign him he wouldn't have returned our call - we don't need to delude ourselves otherwise. That goes for every other player we've ever signed from Europe, including the DPs, no matter what they may tell us.
