Not going to dispute that particular statement, but then again, he IS a footballer. He's not seemingly particularly grateful a big club has come for him, no, but he's no fool. He's playing a dangerous game, but if it pays off, it will do so both in funds and reputation.
Which was what I said in the first place - I'd be happy to see Chelsea telling him to **** off for being a greedy *******. I don't see that happening, though.
