You may hate me saying this but I've got to a point where I don't even blame our players for this kind of behaviour. We consistently show a stunning lack of ambition and our best players (and Denilson) are going to want to leave - their career is short and they can't afford to waste it pissing around here when we're going nowhere fast.
I've felt it for a while but this kind of shit is further evidence for why we shouldn't be undervaluing short-term success. We can accrue as many players with potential as we like but as soon as they come good they're going to leave because they're not winning anything here and so we continue ad infinitum with our rebuilding process; a process that consists of a persistent downgrading of quality in our squad.
I don't blame the players at all it's not a charity you know, they're professional footballers that is their job and their career might be very short and uncertain, in football 90 minutes is a long time, they're not supporters like us so they go where fate takes them.
And they have only two motivations- money and medals who can blame them for that? so I certainly wouldn't call them "self- entitled twats", it was only a few months ago that we were singing Nana nana nana nana Nasri Nasri Samir Nasri......
