But it shows a lack of loyalty dont say you are going to stay if you cant guarantee it.

There is no loyalty in football. Every player does whatever suits them and their personal circumstances best. Very few players spend their entire career at one club, so why would they feel any loyalty to a club that they have never supported, and will probably only be there for a few seasons before moving on. It's a short lived career for most players, and they are going to go wherever the money is. How many of our players have any real affinity to Cardiff, most of them are not local, most are not even Welsh and are here simply because the right money was offered at the right time, and most would'nt bat an eyelid at moving on next week if the circumstances were right for them.

I understand that but I think players should think about what they are saying before committing.

He's moved to further his career, have a crack at winning the league and get into the England squad. He also gets an increase in wages. Why wouldn't he move?!

It says on the BBC website,that Leicester have activated a £3.8m clause in his contract so he may not have had a choice. When they beat us,he looked a useful player,but the premier league is a big step up.

Activated his buy out clause, always a difficult one.

Why couldn't Bournemouth do that?
