The chance to play for Juve? Would be a dream, I would take the 10k without even thinking twice.

To be honest I would probably play for free and take another job just to survive!

i would still play for free if madrid offers me the chance.. just the thrill of playing for your club should be enough.. your chick can always support you

If Real offered me 60k and Barca offered 90-100k + trophies? To hell with Barca

Buuuuut, if City offered me 175k?

Real vs Barca. BEGIN.

I would take Arsenal no matter what. Earn a spot and take less money playing for the club I love.

The thought of putting an end to the reign on those overly arrogant, diving, cheating little bastards?? Hell, I'd do it for 40k

I'd say money - alliances with clubs are decided pretty arbitrarily anyway. I mean, for some random reason you decide to support a club and then get really invested with your heart in it. But in the end my reasons for being a Madrid fan << 200K a week to be someone else's fan.

Also, it would depend on the quality of the rival. If I'd get to play for Barcelona, well yes, great team. If I'd have to play for Pathetico versus Madrid? Well, I don't know man. Although, tbh, I'd still go for the money.

But indeed, those players who sell out to go to a bigger team if they are already making shitloads of money... That is just strange. In the end, what is the difference between ending your career with 40 million on a bank account or 50 million, right?

Please do not provoke an unnecessary "war"..
If i wouldved had the chance for playing madrid, then i would deffinetly take it no matter the salary. Madrid is club that comes once in a lifetime so I wouldnt pass it up.

An extra 20K matters because it turns out to be close to an extra mil over the course of a year.

It seems silly to expect players to have the same loyalty to a club as a player.

While there are obvious cases of this loyalty in players, Gary Neville, Carragher, Del Piero etc. the majority of players are essentially a commodity for the club.

In an era where most top players started somewhere lower before being scouted by the top teams we can't expect them to have the die hard loyalty of a fan when they have the real chance of being sold or benched by that club.
A club can't stop you being a fan, so a fan's loyalty lasts forever, it can however stop you regularly playing the game you love.

And I'd take the money.

If the difference is 10k/week vs 200k/week then definitely money (0.52mil/year vs 10.4mil/year). Even with one season you could secure your family and their child's future, so sentimental things like "favorite club" shouldn't weight much.

should probably be Loyalty vs Money

Club I love, anyday.

If someone held a gun to my head, I wouldn't join Inter but I'm wondering it's easy for me to say this behind a computer. When it is your one livelihood things might turn out different, I dunno.

I would never even consider playing for barcelona, even if i played for a 4th division useless korean club

would be total treason to my heart

Give me 200k..
i will play for barcelona but purposely(without making it obvious) play bad for them during important games..
if i have to, i will even "accidently" score an own goal for real madrid

Too much different, anybody will accept 200k..

I would personally take it, even if it meant for playing for San Lorenzo or Real Madrid, in the end its a living.

Well, I'm crap nowadays. So I'd go to United (qq). Leech off their wage-bill and just play bad I guess. :geek:

Money can be quite tempting, but i can never give up milan for inter just for some extra bucks.

I love money a lot but i cherish milan even more

Phrased differently, if someone offered you 10 million to never watch football again, would you take it? Probably.

So then why wouldn't you give up on your loyalty for a similar amount?

Hargreaves didn't play bad, he was injured. In that case we could say the same about 80% of Arsenal's team, as they're constantly injured

People who run Newcastle are mugs I could probably get Ronaldo kind of wages on a stupidly long 10 year contract.

But my family would disown me.

Id rather quit football join the army & play barefoot naked in a field full of land mines in Afghanistan than run out as part of the home team at the land fill.

As long as I got food, shelter, and vagina, I really don't mind being broke. Love all the way. St. Pauli > HSV.
