Players like this are extremely rare. To us mere supporters the job of a footballer is a massive privilage but to those that actually make it, its just a job and a way of making quick and easy money. Obviously the boys that play in the top flight and have a realistic chance of trophies do play for glory, but i think the players in the lower leagues are only in it to make as much cash as they can in a job that spans a short career. Who can blame them to be fair.
I dont think I would be able to motivate myself to go to football if I felt the same way as that. Maybe some day I will feel the same as that, and that day I wont go anymore.
Players who were ambitious and in it to win it, werent rare at all when I started watching football.
In fact its only been in the last 18 months where I have questioned the attitude and application of Swindon Town players. Never questioned it before as a team, been watching since 1992. Even in our worst ever teams I thought we had some real fighters and I could see a team spirit shine through.
But it is an issue now, so Wilson will have to sign more determined, more professional and more passionate players to improve the squad.
Greer has replaced Aljofree as captain and Ive got a lot more faith in him as a leader.
