Yep, if at the end of your career and it is something you always wanted the chance to do then take it with both hands.
Unless you get offered £30m to play for Shanghai shafters... Truth is, footballers are as far removed from our reality as can be humanly possible. Only we, the fans, hope for fairytale endings. They don't give a flying Fvck..... Nor will I when I win the lottery.....
Some players are more open and honest though. For example, Luis Suarex did he dreamed of playing one of the Spanish giants, he didn't limit it to one or tee other #clever
Lingard has really hit a purple patch recently. I thought ok the p1ss when he got that big deal but he's really looking the part these days. Dele is a hot head...can he be trusted?
This is essentially a "would you rather be Alan Shearer or Michael Owen" type question... (Ignoring Blackburn obviously)
And Joe Cole's. After that it was his dream come true to play for Wham again, then it was his dream come true to play for Villa. Then it was his dream come true to play for someone else, and then some outfit in the States. He was so lucky, that lad.
Yeah exactly. Although I was more pointing out that not ALL footballers couldn't give a ****. Although timing is important.
Whoa tough one, I would lean toward Lingard at the moment because he is "one of our own" Seriously, Lingard because he is the one player who knits our attack and midfield together (regardless of what we have spent on others), he is the very first line of defence, has almost as much energy as "the machine" (Valencia), is Red through and through and very under rated. I have been calling for him to get more game time for 3 years (posts on here to support this).
In your scenario... I'd much rather be able to say I'd played for Liverpool than say I'd won a medal, the latter isn't even guaranteed btw
This is what we’ve not done for the last 15 years and it’s always cost us. Every fan has pretty much said we should be buying 1/2 big players to make a difference to the first team rather than 6/7 that fills out the squad. Only recently have we had the cash to really be able to do that though. Unfortunately when we had the best team under rafa when we needed to just strengthen a couple of areas with WC players we were selling to buy and constantly filling the squad.
Alli has had a bit of stinker this year. While Lingard has been one of UTD's best player this season (brother is a utd fan, and thinks this, I tend to avoid **** football). I do wonder if Alli will ever produce to the same level he has before.
