i think the weather will be an issue for many top players. when you have all the luxuries your 120+000/per week salary gives you, the one thing that spoils quality of life is the weather in manchester/northern england. whats the point of having a convertible if its raining a lot of the time? the mediterranean lifestyle more outdoor as well. i can see spain staying as the main country for top players, with the weather as a major reason, if everything else in contract negotiations is equal between clubs, which maybe the case with ribery.
