I cannot understand why these rich players with already more money than they can spend, go to such a place for 2/3 years, it saddens me that they think this way, Wilf already has a net worth of 47m, i know it hasn't happened yet, and he sees sense and goes for a club in the champions league. Offers are quite insane. Benzema will earn the amount he had earned in Madrid (for more than a decade) in just 2 years with a very mild match calendar.

Human nature - there is always a bigger/better phone, car, house, yacht, football club to buy. It’s only seems ‘more than they can spend’ to us as we are not as far along that path. But to most of the world’s population our incomes would appear to be ‘far more than we can spend’.

I can never understand why people cant understand it. If it was a normal dude, getting closer to retirement age, offered bumper pay out and an easier schedule. The would take it. It doesn't really matter how much they have earned previously, the opportunity to further upgrade the lifestyle is hard to resist

It’s always easy to judge players but they may have big ambitions after football to set up companies etc so just want more money to do it. I’v no problem with it at all.

Yes I don’t see why he wouldn’t work for free - if he truly loves us. Did anyone suggest that??? Has he been doing that for six years? And did I suggest an increase in his salary or not?

I could see him going to Atletico Madrid, good league, champions league football. But I suppose £50 million to play out in the desert could be a tad tempting

Whatever happens ,Wilf is already a multimillionaire, but as some point out he already has interests beyond the game, and his ambition in that area could be never ending.

I don’t know what wave length you are on MD, but nowhere do I suggest Wilf simply has to take a wage cut . What I suggest is that if Athletico, or the Arabs, or anyone else offer him substantially more than Palace , then you can only suppose the love of Palace, plays the major part in him staying with Palace. Your question actually applies more to Wilf, than me

No doubt I'll be in a minority of one here and be widely ridiculed but the problem I'd have is anyone playing football for this murderous regime. I wonder what the would've been wife of Jamal Kashoggi makes of all this. I suppose if you give people enough money, they're able to forget anything. Dons steel helmet.

But morality rarely survives long when the cash returns can be counted. In multiples of a million pounds..
