Training is in his interest, mind he's always looked 'solid'. Who is to say he isn't trying to keep his fitness up though? Doubt he's sitting around munching pies like. He wants to be playing, I can accept that and respect does work both ways.

However i also agree it is the money situation that has done it. People happy to fork over hundreds to Murdoch and Sky, then complain that the money is spoiling the game. Top footballers have always been well paid but it is the Sky cash that has sent it into the realm of the insane.
