Top bloke for doing this, playing football truly for the love of the game and not just for the huge pay packet unlike some players.

Certainly has earned my respect for this, credit where credit is certainly due.

Onyewu I salute you :wub:

He's obviously only doing it so he can stay at AC Milan for an extra season instead of heading off to a nothing club.

And Mido is playing for a grand a week. Seriously the best players earn the big dough.

i respect this player for doing that it would be nice if players like messi terry gerrard also decide to do this but never gunna happen

 

[Alex]

Probably true Lee and he would have earned enough by then anyway But at least it shows that he isn't playing for le money.

 

[CJACKO11]

fair play to him, he feels he owes milan for sticking by him through this injury struck season.

Its easy to be generous when you're on £40,000 a week.

 

[Redders]

Probs leave at the end of 2012 anyway. Remember Boro were heavily linked with him, then he joined Newcastle and looked like he'd been to the Bramble & Boumsong school of defending.

Plus Mido's a ****....just thought i'd get that in there.

Most players don't even give up a week's wages to help out a charity, so fair play to this lad.

True that.

I am sure if any where else had offered him more than 1k a week he would have gone.

It's just the fact that no one wanted him.

To be fair he will probably go back to America when his contract ends and earn a few $Million before retiring.

How could you possibly know? Completely unfounded comment.
