It seems that he is totally disillusioned with the proffesional game and all that surrounds it,
I could see why this would be as all the drama he had before with agents and who owned
his contract etc he was just a pawn in a money game.
Basically he has said before his heart is not in the game and the desire to win trophies etc
is not there anymore. If this really is the case and his heart isnt in it any more his game
will eventually suffer, u cant play at that level if u arent commited to the game.
I think the more time goes on more and more players will get disillusioned with the politics
of the sport the power struggle between agents and clubs the blatant greed for money, the
rooney saga was evedience of that,at the end of the day the agents are faceless people
behind the scenes that pull the strings of players often young guys without alot of education
in some cases not too bright,therefore easily manipulated. Sometimes the bluff game works
and everything is great but if it dosent the Agents can slip back into the shadows and let
the player hanging out there for the media etc to decimate. All these guys work on percentages
so they dont give a shite what the contract or the consequences of it are once its for plenty
of euros
