its the modern game.. run by agents.. run by agents.. I find it hard to stomach too, but I can see both sides of the argument.
My personal feelings is we should hold on to him till the summer during which we get him back to the torres of old and then sell him to the highest bidder.... then rebuild....
[/quote]Francesco Totti has stayed at a club who have ONCE shown intentions to be a challenger. That was ten years ago. In the following ten years im fucking CERTAIN that any top club in Europe would have been in for him had he shown any interest in leaving.
And despite being at a penniless club with no real ambition beyond survival he has never flinched. Never been guided by agents, money, the chance to win silverware or be a champion elsewhere. Why?
BECAUSE HE LOVES THE CLUB AND WHEN YOU REALLY MEAN THAT THEN ITS ALL THAT MATTERS AND HE WILL BE REMEMBERED BY THOSE FANS AS A LEGEND, AS THE LEGEND FOR EVER.
