Which is fair enough but fans should be able to judge him on it.
True, but in the end, he goes home and lives his life and probably has a longer-term vision than the passing musings of fans who don't care much for him other than being the topic of the day.
I do believe some players become jaded well before retirement, he may well be one of them, who knows?
What's he done to Martinez and at Roma for this turnaround?
Yeah and I think if that's the case, then his prioritise in life are wrong. Besides, it's not like he wouldn't be paid well at some of the big clubs that would make a move for him.
He could be thinking about having enough money to finance his family line generations beyond now. In that context, would you say football is more important?
If his objective is to get the biggest wages available to him then getting paid pretty well wouldn't be as appealing as getting eye-watering amounts.
He would have earned more at both united and Chelsea than Roma I would guess so don’t think he has always been purely about money
As I said above, possibly Not, but life has a habit of changing one's outlook.
Every time I hear stories about him it's about him being miserable for something or other. He's also often reported to be out on the lash, which is not the attitude of someone who's in love with the game.
