Sellouts: Karma will always get ya!

I'm going to make this short and sweet. Anyone notice how 'sellouts'(people who take deals solely for monetary purposes, not considering their own image and career) always end up being forgotten on their new teams. We've seen it everywhere prime examples being, Ballack and Shevchenko at Chelsea. These two have COMPLETELY FALLEN off the radar to football fans expecially Shevchenko, once the European player of the year and one of the most feared and revered strikers in the world. Both these strikers gave up PROMINENT places on their previous teams (Bayern Munich and A.C. Milan, respectively) - Ballack was actually the captain of his team. Where are they know? Noone knows - sure Chelsea will say their 'injured' or some other sad sob excuse but we all know what has happened. Even David Beckham saw a SHARP decrease in his popularity upon moving to Real Madrid, only gaining any resurgence within his last days at the club. Lesson to learn, DON'T sellout your team or career for a couple million. It is better to have played 15 years worth of fulfilling and prosperous sports career and go down in history, for a little less change, than to have 8-10 years of stardom just to see you FADE away quickly for a couple million.

If you ar talking about fall offs after a big transfer, we should talk about Riquelme after going to Villareal, Henry going to barca, Saviola going to Madrid, and a player that had a chance to leave to but stayed for the money and is now virtually rubbish Adriano, and player who is ABSOLUTE SHIT, DIDA da worse fucking Keeper ever

Here is where you have gone wrong my friend...Riquelme still saw prominance at Villareal (Chaampions league two years ago) and was still a force. It was only his final months there that he fell off. Saviola??? Do you know that Barcelona has wasted Saviola for years now. All they do is keep loaning him off to various clubs barely ever giving him the cahnce to shine there. It has gotten to the point where unsuprisingly he is an unknown now. So you cannot blame him for moving (probably loaned out) or for falling off even further. He has no stability for the last 5 years on the club level. Your bias is rearing its ugly head when you speak of Dida nad Adriano. Adriano situation could not be helped as Inter chose to waste his potential. He will undoubtedly be back in Europe one day. Dida is far from the worst keeper in the world and one mistake on Sunday doesn't nominate him for that category. Please remember that he is ageing(about 34 now) and so is not as good as he once was. The best keepers in the world as you will realize are in their late 20's (the prime years), Buffon and Casillas.

Wrong Son, Saviola is not loaned out, he moved to Madridm(real), and Riquelme left VillaReal, to go to Boca, and went back to Villa, then became nothing.
Others that fell of after a move Ricardo Olivera had a great career in Betis so he left to Milan, and had the Starting job, but easily lost it and fell off so bad he didint even play anymore, no he is in Zaragoza on loan, and Milan are considering to sell him.
Cassano, had a great time in roma, but left, whether it Money or cause he fell out with Totti, whatever it was he went to Madrid, and Had a great year warming up the bench. He stayed on the bench so long when he finally got sold to sampordia, it took him so long to get into shape and a fraction of the form he once was, even though he did manage to score a goal early in the season.
Dida is the worse, and it is not just the sundays match, you know i have never rated this keeper, and the sunday match mad it even worse, were you say mistake, i say lack of skill and coordination, as for the best in the world it is Buffon and Cech, then Casillas.

well Riquelme left because they WEREN'T playing him...Saviola left because THEY WEREN'T PLAYING HIM! so they didn't sell out per se, they were just trying to get more time somewhere else. you're hatred for dida is the reason you are crucifying him for a little mistake...ultimately it is Milan's fault why they lost and not solely Didas'.
