Sorry lad but what people say holds no truth. Most of them come out and say "I supported Liverpool as a kid" when it's clear they didn't.
I'd like to think our players wanna play for the club because of it's history and tradition. But some players do come here for the money, just like any other club. Some stay here because of the money i.e. Diao.
Most players in the modern world go where the money is, Michael Owen is no different in that sense. What hurts more is he's gone to Man United and shown no loyalty to this club by doing so. Whereas Torres has publicly stated he'd never play for Real Madrid because of his loyalty and ties at Athletico.
Spot on, there are still players with principles, but sadly the majority are more interested in their bank balance.
