I know this is standard sport fan logic but I never understood why it's so bad for someone to keep playing as long as they can. This seems like far more of an issue for us than the athletes themselves. It's pretty logical to play as long as you can and if you need to step down a level or two to continue then why not? Some choose to retire instead but if you want to play another year at a lower level why does this bother people?
It wasn't his fault he was played too much this year -- he's hardly going to tell a manager to put him on the bench instead.
He's not good enough for a Euro chasing side but if he wants to play for a side lower down the table/leagues then why not?
Why is our reaction not "wow he must love to play football and doesn't have an ego about it" instead of "why is he embarrassing himself?"
Spot on.
He still enjoys football and despite what anybody says he's still got a lot to offer possibly a newly promoted club or a club in the Championship.
QPR I reckon
Wobble head wanted him last season. He'd be the perfect man in the dressing room to sort all the crap out.
He should join Cahill at the Red Bulls. We need more pointing stateside.
