Dave, I agree that the top players do aim for honours etc. However, when you look at where Barry is at now, with only a few years left of his professional career and suddenly ManCity offers him £5 million more a year; I cannot see many mortals who will turn down that kind of money. Footballers are people too.
You can call it what you want, greedy etc, but most of us if not all know that we have to look out for Number One. Is it inexcuseable, unforgiveable, bastardly? I don't think so. He is just looking out for himself and I think we would all do the same.
