Greedy Scum

[BromleyMonkey]

It's the players day job. If I was offered double my salary for the same job in a different company I'd be gone! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Always makes me laugh that statement when people try to justify their greed, The average Joe on the street is not already on 100/150/200-250k a week plus whatever else they get for wearing a certain brand of boots etc etc

There is a certain legal requirement when one signs a contract.

JP's agent is a guy called Paul Latouche, he has one other player on his books, a 3rd div French player who no one has ever heard of.

This is an agent, trying to make himself relevant & earn shyte loads of money & failing, but causing a lot of grief & animosity.

True, and in comparing the career and wage aspirations of the average person to those of footballers, we can forget there is such a thing as greed, and a person already having enough money.

Where I have far more sympathy with modern players who want to leave clubs like Palace is that their 'pure' ambitions, like challenging for the title, competing in the latter stages of the champions league, and showing they belong alongside and against the very best, can only be met by moving. You just can't do those things at Palace.

I don't think there is any equivalent to that in most other walks of life.

Yes I agree with that. Players like Olise, Eze and Guehi deserved to progress their careers elsewhere but they did it in the right way. Not like that w####r Mateta who isn’t that good anyway. I’ll reserve judgement on Sarr until we know the real story…..
