people like to experience different things, even in football ... I know fans always applaud players for staying with one team for their entire careers or for the bulk of their careers, but I frankly don't go over the top about it ... it's fine if you want to that, but I personally feel that I want to experience everything while I'm young, and staying put in one place just wouldn't cut it ... a footballer's career happens during the prime of his life, and to want to experience new things is not just normal, but should be encouraged ...
the idea of loyalty is not in question, nor is integrity -- you should always commit to the moment ... if a player plays for a club at a particular time and admits (when asked) that he one day may move on, his honesty should be appreciated; to question his commitment is unfair and unjust ...

That's a good post man
