A bit off topic but since I've started following the premier league I've decided that English sports fans are much more critical of players for being "greedy" than American fans are. I think we've just accepted it after a while, not like there isn't some outrage about it but not as much I don't think. If I was a player I would want to make as much money as I could while I was playing so I wouldn't have to worry about it after my career was over.

Kind of along those lines as a Fulham fan I would be annoyed if Hangeland left for Arsenal but I would understand why he would want too. Come to think of it was Hangeland the one highly thought of center back that Man City haven't tried to buy? I guess Hughes doesn't like him as much as some people.

I agree Ouma Hangeland to Arsenal is a natural progression, aswell as his bank blance he is advancing his career and playing for a better club, you cant really be critical to someone in that posistion. But like Master said someone lke John Terry is a money grabbing cunt, to even contemplate going to such an inferior club in terms of where there at right now just for financial gain is insane for me considering he is already earning in excess of 120k a week.

Footballers leaving clubs to better there careers you cant really blame them but players like Tevez Adebeyor etc etc All about money and I think that is a shame for the sake of 40/50 k id rather be playing for a club who has better players and are playing better standard of football personally.
