Regarding Costa staying put in Madrid after being offered more money... now labeled as "only after money."
How does that compare to Gerrard ready to transfer to Chelsea... until we offered him an improved contract?
Why is Gerrard a loyal servant of the club but Costa a mercenary for doing the same thing?
I suspect in all transfers there is a wide range of motivations... be it Gerrard, Costa, or anyone else.
I'm sure Salah could look at Chelsea and see a better chance of silverware for example.
I, for one, don't blame them for going after money either. You get a 10-15 year career in which to make as much as possible to support you for the rest of your life.
Don't know about you guys but I'd want to be rich always... not just whilst at the peak of my career.
Now... it can be taken too far... somethings you don't do... Owen.
Well said.
I don't have a problem for players wanting to move for money. I'm sure a lot of us would.
And also, there is a common misconception that players who move for money won't give their all for the club. I think is wrong - look at Man City, Chelsea etc and you will find top class players, getting paid sh*t loads but still acting professional and putting in the effort.
