Scott Sinclair thought he was doing the right thing moving on and he's hardly got a game.

I think the reason they take the option to go to a big team is because they think and believe they can break into the team and stay there. Thats why they are where they are, belief. I think if they honestly know they are just going to be a benchwarmer, not many of them would take it. They want to play. Thats why they gave up so much of their life to train week in week outI'd like to believe you are right and daresay there are some players who fit that description but with the money that is on offer it has to turn heads. The gulf between the wages paid at the likes of City and United to the Villa's and Everton's of this world these days is a lot bigger than it was even ten years ago. Nothing should be taken for granted in a footballer's career and the chance to be financially secure for life is one very few would resist in any walk of life in my opinion. That's why there are so few one club men these days. Outside of the very wealthiest clubs who have players who amass three/four hundred games these days? We had Barry and when he left after eleven years he got called a greedy bastard lol.Loyalty is a trait exclusive to fans. Players and staff have their own personal agendas and that's the way it is.Yeah and one four year contract at 15K per week ( that's £3.12 million by the way) makes you financially secure for the rest of your life!!So doubling, trebling or even quadrupling his salary wouldn't be of any interest? Poor old Ashley Cole nearly crashed his car when Arsenal offered him £10k less than he was expecting.

Moetvillan, do you think when Wayne Bridge went to Chelsea he honestly thought he was going to dislodge Ashley Cole? Sinclair, where is he going to play at Man City, even when Ballottelli has gone and Aguero is injured? Players move for money and lets be honest, if I got offered a big rise next week in the same kind of work, I would take it. Weimann may hold on and think he should as he will be getting regular football and has an affinity with the club. Benteke, Iam far from sure he will stay
