The whole point is he is happy to do that, but isnt man enough to come out and say it. What stood out for me was when he said certain players would make a fuss if they dont play and he's not the same. Thats says it all. If you force a move because you are not getting games, it shows you want to play football atleast. The only reason he has come out now is that Mancini questioned his professionalism. Otherwise he would be happy collecting his money and chill on the weekends with his girlfriend.silvasilvasilva said:I dont understand all the abuse in this thread, fair enough hes pretty gash but he was offered a certain wage hes entitled to pick it up, how many of you would change job to less than half of what you were paid now. If he is happy to play with the reserves fair enough let him collect what he was offered. Obviously can see where Mancini is coming from but his wages are relative to footballers not normal people and so we cant ecpect him to move on until the end of his contract regardless of the amount of football he plays.
Bridge should just say Im 31 and coming to the end of my career, i will only leave if someone offers me similar wage, otherwise i will see out my contract and save my money
