Whoever is wearing our shirt, I'll cheer on. When they leave, I don't care.
D'yer know what, although I wouldn't have put it as strongly as that, I, to a degree, do agree.
I know it's the price of fame etc - however, the one thing that I can relate to, and yes, they could still be classed as 'mercenaries', is the 6 English starters v Liverpool - that, and that only, is my link towards the team...
and you can go through the English players
Hart, threatened to leave. He didn't say "I'm going to fight for a starting place"
Richards, got his big contract and now is a lazy arse git
Barry, Milner and Lescott are only here because we doubled their money
That only leaves Adam Johnson, who, to be fair, moved to a Premier league club from a lower league.
