Clubs used to be sources of pride and people would play for the honor of wearing a tshirt. Now, clubs are practically businesses that only care about winning trophies. We've seen it time and time again- Ronaldo, Adebayor, Berba, etc. Yes, some players are loyal but those tend to be the exception to the rule. There’s still pride but we’re slowly seeing a shift.

Considering Juve in a crisis right now, we need everyone back home to figure out what's going on. <i> There’s no pride in playing for clubs anymore. It’s all about money and who has the fattest wallets. </i> I don't take that drab of a view. I know ADP/Trez/Nedved/Buffon/Camoranesi feel something for the shirt, given that they rejected lucrative moves elsewhere. Buffon could start at any club in the world, except maybe Real Madrid and had plenty of offers. And I'm guessing Lanzafame, De Ceglie, Giovinco, Chiellini, and Marchisio feel something for the maglia. Maybe your statement holds in the EPL, but there's still pride in the boot.

I definitely think Miccoli and Cassano should get put in the spots over Toni and Perrotta respectively.
