How about Glen hoddle
Should he have moved from spurs earlier than he did ?
.................
He should have come to United. We would have broken Liverpool's dominance a lot earlier with a CM of Robbo and Hoddle.

Him or Liam Brady VC
Do you think the Hoddle to Monaco move was to do with new experiences or to do with England's ban from European competition?

Maybe a bit of both.
But he did quite well when he moved to France aged 30 one wonders how successful hed have been if hed moved to the continent around the same time Brady moved to Juventus.

I can only assume you were in a coma on deadline day last season.
If not you must be stupid.

Not at all, Madird made a howler! The loyalty to sign a new contract rather than wait for what is obviously a very sensible career choice for him is the point I am making.

His game was certainly more suited to the European style.

He was going to real Madrid. Any loyalty talk stops at that instance.

Am i right in thinking there's no 'get out fee' in De Gea's contract?

No one on here knows what is in his contract as far as I am aware. It is all speculation.

Marco Reus?

Not sure I understand this one. Yes, they had one year out of the Champion's League, but you can bet that next season Dortmund will be one of the teams to beat on the European stage.
Unless you mean that he hasn't moved to Munich yet, in which case, I guess so.

Most players have a buy out clause these days, that's usually beneficial to both club and player.
Walcott? Ruined his career with a manager taking 10 years and still not knowing what his position is or where to play him.
At Rangers it was the late Davie Cooper by a country mile.
World-class yet was content to simply play for the team he loved. Could easily have made it in any league yet wanted to stay close to his home town.
He was content with the choices he made, but in answer to the OP his loyalty probably cost him on a personal level financially and also from the wider audience his skills deserved.
Recent, the two I can think of the top of my head is:
Larsson (CELTIC) wasted his best years in the SPL
Totti (ROMA) won every player award going and the World Cup pity he found trophies hard to come by at club level.
Probably our very own L.King. Obviously injuries played their part, but their were whispers of a few big clubs hovering round pre-injury blight.
Was only youngish at the time but there was many a window when Anderton was linked with United. Was that just talk, loyalty, or injuries that prevented that from happening/never going to happen?
Controversial because of how much he won at United but Paul Scholes. Could have easily played in that Barcelona side who are considered by most to be the best club side ever.
