Reality. I think the Foden thing was a stark reminder that people put far too much emotional weight into footballers to be heroes. They hold them up to be something that they're not.
Glad you have seen the light.

In Jones Stones a chronic waste of a wonderful talent and opportunity.
 
It’s always struck me on the few occasions I’ve met players, just how childish and immature many of them are... but I guess they never have to grow up - they live in a protected environment from an early age where the bubble they live in feels like reality. No wonder so many struggle after they finish playing - it must be a heady dose of reality.

They never grow up. Peter pan lifestyle innit. I know people who work around footballers, and they say training grounds and dressing rooms are just like kids in high school. Incredibly laddy, alpha male environments, with 30 odd year footballers acting like they did when they were 17 still.

That's true but it's also not fair to stereotype all footballers as playboys. I'm pretty sure Kompany and Silva were decent men off the pitch and to their wives! Although I don't know them personally so who knows.
 
Raiola would probably ask for 40m himself, and a release clause so Haaland moves on in a couple years. There`s no way Raiola would be happy if Haaland stayed at a club for a long time

Raiola wants money. He doesn’t always move his players unless it is financially viable for them. Pogba hasn’t moved, albeit had his up and downs. Håland is worth it.
