Is anyone actually surprised? Kemar has been looking to move abroad for YEARS, he's just been way less whiny about it than the likes of Murillo, Kaku, or Long.
In a vacuum, I'm not surprised or even disappointed.
When you take into account that this offeseason we've dumped BWP, Robles, Murillo, and Taxi, Robles essentially said that Denis doesn't know what he's doing, Taxi said that the team seems to have no intention in being competitive next year, and the FO has shown zero signs of bringing in a player who will clearly improve the starting XI outside of the normal buzz-phrases that they've said for years (we're looking for someone who fits the system, we can spend if we need to, etc.)...
It's the context of this entire offseason that makes this move look so bad.
If you scan YouTube looking for Bradley Wright-Phillips, youll find numerous goal compilations, a few interviews and, eventually, an excerpt from the grime mixtape series Lord of the Mics.
