Not at all. When you're saying step down, you're making it about the money. That may or may not always be the reason, like I suggested earlier. I don't know if you're aware, but Quag asked for a move to Sampdoria, but they couldn't afford to pay Juve their fee as per GDM. He accepted a 1.5m salary, which is a pay cut, to move to Lazio, but agaisn they refused or couldn't afford Juve's asking price. Also, unlike the other two comparisons, Quag can still make a difference at most teams in Italy, and hes perhaps holding out for that, vis a vis make a cultural shift at a late stage in his career. Fair enough if you ask me.
You think he's not seeing how unsettled the likes of Giaccherini and Osvaldo are as a result of their choices? Surely, it has some bearing, especially in this stage of his career, so he's well within his right if he doesn't want to go to a team where he'll probably have to find himself unsettled once they're relegated. I wouldn't blame him or even Gio who will probably also be on the way out if they don't want to go to teams like Cardiff, West Ham etc.
