Am I the only one who see's it this way:
With all the transfer fiasco's going on, all the clubs saying who goes where and the players and agents yapping. Am i the only one who thinks msot footballers couldn't give a stuff about what club they pay for, aslong as they get the highest wages.
All this 'i'll stay here till my career is over' nonsense is just a plea for "so it'll take a fatter pay cheque to get me away" rather than an honest statement.
Let's theoretically say Roman wants to spend a whole billion on a winning side. Do you think your players would stay loyal to your club or go play for his side? I'd say they'd pick money over the club.
I don't blame them, when you're a footballer you've got what? 10 years of top club football? want to retire at 30 and live comfortably for the rest of your life? Why stay where you get £20k a week when you can get £50k somewhere else. Do you care if you just warm the bench? would it bother you there would be no media or fans to criticise your performance since you don't even play? I'd say footballers view the game as a job, and a hard one at that, you only have your boss to perform infront of, they've got fans, media, managers, chairmen to pick apart at them for the slightest mistake. I'd guess they don't have the passion and enthusiasm some fans seem to.
