I've been sitting here thinking about this for a while, and I just cannot get my head around it. If I could, I would love to pose a few questions to him;
1. Why do you feel that it would be better to be second choice at a club, essentially become a no-body, rather then being a hero to many, and playing regular football?
2. How do you feel this is going to improve your chances of becoming an International?
3. Does money really mean more to you then playing?
4. Do you now really understand what you are letting yourself in for, do you know that your life will never be your own, and that you have to share it with thousands of people?
5. Why?
I just can't get my head around it all. This is career suicide for him, and no doubt in 2 years he will be looking for another club trying to rebuild his career. I won't feel any malice towards him for leaving, but I won't sympathize with him if his career disappears, your good Mark, but are you really THAT good?
