Alonso, Mascherano and now Torres...
Alonso was 29yrs old when Real Madrid came calling, he (Alonso) had the chance of playing for one of the biggest clubs in world football, LFC got around £30m for a player @ almost 30yrs old, although one of our best players it was good business, except that the money went to reduce the debt rather than to Rafa for new player(s), Masherano got greedy and went to a club that could offer CL football and to be fair play for a better team, Torres is still our player and until we know for sure he has actually left will remain so, no one is certain what has happened over the last 3 days, it could still be all bollocks and stirred up by twittertwats.
To get back on topic;
All the god men went when the money men were given licence to throw their weight around, gone are the days where A club could rely on loyal players that honour contracts and build a rappore with the clubs fans, there are some loyal players out there but are becoming increasingly rare, we have Carra, Gerrard, Mancs have Giggs, Scholes, Chavs, Terry and fat Frank, most seem to be home grown and certainly British based players, so i suppose the question should be how long will Johnny foriegner be at a certain club, i believe any contract a overseas player has with a club should be maximised at 2yrs(seasons) everyone then knows where they stand and a player has to homour that contract as does the club.
