Three Years You Say?

What is a signature, in fact, what is a contract? The definition of a contract is as follows " A contract is a legally enforceable agreement between two or more parties " If this is the case. How is it players are allowed to leave their clubs mid-contract?


In my eyes, it's simple if you were to sign for my club for three years you would in fact be at my club for three years, and if you don't like it, there is plenty of room on the reserve's bench. As i'm under the illusion once someone signs a contract to a club, they have basically told the club, the league and the fans you will be there doing your best for the specified time at the club. Wanting to leave is fine even being vocal about it is fine, but when you decide to let it hamper your playing time and the quality you offer to the club it crosses the line. While you're at a club, you should give your 100 percent focus and effort into the club from the starting day until the day you pick up your bags and leave the club.


So why is it players like Carlos Tevez, Cesc Fabregas & Luka Modric  demand trades and then not play or perform for the club they are currently serving? Why is it that they let the off-field issues interrupt the onfield business? Why is it, they believe they have a choke hold over the Manager and the club?






The answer to that question is because a contract and signature are worth as much as Zimbabwean currency with players breaking a contract all the time it has become a regular occurance. Clubs and FIFA, in fact, are letting players run the show rather than the clubs so where did we go wrong?

Money, money has taken over club pride and passion this may not be the case for all clubs but for some players, it is certainly  the case. Did somebody mention Carlos Tevez?  Carlos Tevez earns 80,000 pounds a week, was captaining the club and was in a Manchester City squad that seems to be on the brink of a new dynasty so why would you want to leave? He claims family at the end of the day no one knows but Carlos. However, I have a good idea it's money.  Carlos makes more than enough to bring his family to Manchester or in fact, anywhere in England and provide them with a more than good life, a life other can only dream about and yet he acts like a spoiled brat.


As mentioned earlier if a player wants to leave that's fine, but as soon as it starts interfering with their on-field antics that's when you drop that player not give him what he wants sit him on the bench until he decides he will be loyal to his contract, his club and himself as a person and once they do if they do of course they may take their place in the squad.

Want-Away City Player Carlos Tevez Sits On The Bench

One manager which has done this well is Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini in regard to Carlos Tevez. Carlos did not feature in any of the pre-season and has played an accumulated 55 minutes in the first three fixtures. The majority which has come in the last two fixtures after he has realized he is stuck at City for a while and has decided to add himself to the team once more.


In a way I'm glad Tevez wants to stay but in another, he deserves what he's getting, he turned his back on the supporters Of Manchester City, and now he wants back in. But with the likes of Edin Dzeko and the new addition Kun Aguero, flourishing in the striker position and to be perfectly fair they don't look like moving. So get comfortable Carlos maybe grab a nice book for your time and enjoy the Manchester weather from the best seats in the house.
