Asamoah Gyan has noted being the only one to have received all the missiles from fans following his shock move to the UAE. The 26-year-old joined Al Ain in a lucrative one-year loan deal last month but immediate comments made by Sunderland boss Steve Bruce suggested he moved solely for the money. Sunderland fans who at the point felt bitterly disappointed by Gyan�s sudden departure latched onto comments made by Bruce and took the Ghanaian striker to the cleaners. However, as international player transfer policy demands, a player under contract can only make a move elsewhere only if the club is willing to sell. And as developments kept unfolding, it emerged that the Black Cats were handsomely rewarded for farming out their record signing in what is now the world�s most expensive loan deal reportedly worth 6m pounds. The series of intense criticisms by fans upon hearing the news, the ex Udinese and Renne hitman in an exclusive recollection to MTNFootball.com, realizes was most unfair to him. �Asamoah did not just move to the UAE. I did not go to Al Ain to beg them to sign me. I am under contract with Sunderland and as it is with the procedure with therules of the game,� he said. �Al Ain approached Sunderland that they want me. Sunderland agreed first before I moved. If they did not agree I couldn�t have moved. If Sunderland were not interested, I couldn�t have moved. So this talk is unfair on me.�
