Why join Saints? Your agent tells you it is a career move but you know that you are only here to be traded on. Played infrequently enough that you give your best, only to be dropped next game to avoid rour getting broken. Stock. Everybody knows that you are not here to bring glory to Southampton, football is a necessary evil to the owners. It works both ways, of course. A dud can play so nobody wants him and sit out a lucrative and lengthy contract which with a bit of sense could set you up for life and if you know you can't expect to go much further then you could just have it made!
Cynical, l know but if you know that you aren't playing for the shirt and are becoming a journeyman, then it can't feel good. Is this one reason why our players seem so demotivated? |  |
