Would love it if his "dream move" was scuppered.
Apparently turned down Man City for a few grand more at Man Utd?
Now Man Utd are getting a bit twitchy and Chelsea are showing an interest.
I hope it all goes pear shaped and the ugly money grabbing little **** is left out of the Arsenal squad for the rest of the season.
Little **** thinks he is bigger than the club.
All for players getting as much as they want in their careers. Sometimes they will make bad career decisions in terms of performance and accomplishments, but I don’t think I can begrudge them for pushing for as much money as possible. Most of us would do the same if we had their leverage. If the powers that be keep increasing their income and try to bring as much money as possible to their pocketbooks via the game, this is what will happen.
He’s one of my favorite players to watch so I just want to see him on the field. Busts his ass every time he steps on the field.
I would agree that you can't question his effort and commitment on the field, the problem for me is that he is an odious diving, cheating little ****, always waving his hands in the "Book Him" mode when he hits the ground. Git!! I don't care what happens to him myself.
I like watching him play and wherever he ends up will be at a club that are willing to pay his wage demands. The game of football and all about it is money oriented anyway.

He is already a multi, multi millionaire yet (apparently) the squabble was the difference between 300K PER WEEK and 350K PER WEEK.

I’m sure sitting out was a mutual decision between all parties. Not going to get Arsenal much money if he tweaks a muscle.Quote:

Mitch it is a situation that we will have to get used to. How long before Nevis et al become confirmed targets to the 'big few'? Hopefully Fosun will carry enough clout to be able to resist their ovatures.Quote:

Little wonder that player movement between clubs has become such a merry-go-round. I realise that a players career is limited and he may well have a family to feed, but the unfettered 'greed' shown by some does little for the overall welfare and integrity of the game itself. Some agents have a lot to answer for....just my view is all:s:mad:
Never brought that "limited career" business mate.
If a top footballer's career was cut short due to an injury-let's say he only managed five seasons...
The money he would have earned in those short five years would make him a multi-millionaire.
