Pascal Chimbonda.

“Kevin Keegan has approached me and they’ve offered me more money. I am definitely leaving Spurs. It’s all about the money. I don’t care about the final, I don’t care about the cup.”

Is he serious or what, another Lucas Neill only worse, he is coming out and admitting it.

Unbelievable!!

I can't believe some players in todays football, its a game thats becoming more and more about the money involved rather than the pride for playing for certain clubs. If I was a football player and got to a cup final, I'd love to play, not only for being in a final but for the atmosphere too.

Makes a change from the usual "I think my career can develop more at tottenham" and the "Tottenham are a club with european ambitions" fair play to him, hes never going to play for a top 4 club so why not? at least hes honest about it !

And no not all players think like him, Torres took a pay cut to join us so its not all, just a majority !

Why any club would now touch this guy with a barge pole is beyond me. We all know that a lot of the players nowadays care more about the dosh than the clubs/fans they play for but at least they have the decency not to go gobbing off about their obscene pay checks.

He's a stupid fecker anyway, who wears gloves in the middle of spring?

Must admit my jaw was on the floor when I read that the other day.

On the one hand you could call it refreshing honesty. To be honest though, I think it's just another of several money-related nails in the game's coffin. There are too many players at the top level in this country that have exactly the same philosophy, but are maybe a bit more tactful about letting such feelings be known.

If I was Keegan, I'd cut off all talks immediately and let the guy rot at Spurs.

Hang on.

Right - let's look at this realistically, shall we?

Imagine you're a pro footballer (Ok, I realise that this is not in-keeping with my "look at this realistically" statement) - you're playing in a foreign league for a team you have absolutely f*ck-all feeling for, and (arguably) a similar ability team comes in and offers you a massive pay-rise for playing for them.

Now - HONESTLY - what would YOU do?

You have to follow the rules though Lando and say:-

1/ I have always supported team x and couldnt turn down the chance to play for them

2/ It has become impossible for me to continue working with manager x as he doesnt respect my ability

3/I have always dreamed of champions league football and believe that team x will see me achieve my dreams, even if they are currently bottom of the prem.

4/ Its not the money, I could have got more by staying

5/ I have always wanted to work with manager x and to play with player y, its nothing to do with the doubling of my wages.

Then everyone loves you

You cannot blame the players, there is so much money floating about in football these days that greed just breeds greed.

Look at Lampard, he is holding out for £130K per week cos thats what Ballacks on, he is probably already on about £90K per week thats £4.68mill per year, ffs thats more than most people earn in 3 lifetimes.

Honestly id say, "I think my career can develop more at tottenham and tottenham are a club with european ambitions"

Its obvious that the guy's a dick, but he's no different than the majority of players. Its depends what their ambitions are doesn't it? I think he's got more chance of honours at Spurs and surely honours are what a player is judged on but Shearer springs to mind. Chimbonda however will be remembered as a money grabbing twat.

Keegan should drop him and let him rot at Spurs... just desserts.

Fair played to him that's what i say, at least he's not a liar! If he wants to make a few more quid that's his perogative.

by **7_Kewell** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 6:37 pm

can't say i'm surprised. This guy handed in a transfer request on the final day of the 2005-06 season when he was at Wigan.
