There you go again with the mercenary bit which i do not appreciate and then you go on some tangent saying people are accusing you of racism. You have no proof of whether these guys are mercenaries but you continue to postulate. Emerson, I am sure would have gotten more money at Real Madrid but he chose Juventus cos of Capello , how is that being a mercenary? Those who are staying, we do not know if they are staying on reduced salary or if they are on the same wages. There is nothing overrated about Vieira as the world cup proved and Emerson had been enormous for us in the league. you made out that i was singling you out but i could not reply to you there as that thread was closed but I am replying to you here. I did not even have you in mind when i went off on 1, i was reading stuff about the players that left and it was like just Thuram and Emerson getting stick whilst Zambrotta and Cannavaro were getting away lightly and thats why i got annoyed. I don't base accusation on 1 person's post, i do so on what a lot of people are saying and i detected a racial bias. Now probably cos of that anti Cannavaro stuff started coming out, not that i am fooled for 1 minute, i still think that black players get far more bullshit on this forum and eveywhere else. It is always they that get the most stick if they ask for money or ask to leave any club. Do they have a future once their career is over? Of cos not, so why should they not take advantage when they still can? But continually get stick from the likes of you just because they are doing exactly the same thing that other white players are doing. The best defensive midfiielders we have had at this club for 10 years are Deschamps, Davids, Vieira and Emerson but only Deschamps has escaped accusations of being a mercenary on this forum .
