I think I have gone on about his previous moves more than once, maybe you failed to see those comments or chose to ignore them.
Not sure where I said he left one Russian club for another because they were bigger but I did say "I have no idea why he left Rubin Kazan but his club received more money than they paid for him"
Also you keep banging on about Bournemouth and again I quote what I actually said previously "At this stage I couldn't complain if anyone joined Bournemouth over us, they are a Prem club establishing themselves each year whereas we didn't build on what we had."
Again, did you give this much stick to Foster or is just Rondon you have issues with ?
Also there is plenty to find about Anelka and Adebayor if you look.
You stated Zenit was possibly a step up as they are big club, to which I countered he'd move to Bournemouth if it meant he got paid more. I said Bournemouth because I don't think the size of the club comes in the equation with him, only the size of his pay. Bournemouth were not mentioned in any other context.
Yes, I did give this much stick to Foster and the rubbish he spouted about his kids supported Albion etc, etc.
Indeed, there is plenty to find about Anelka and Adebayor. However, there is nothing to support what you say about the latter going on strike and refusing to go on tour at Spurs, that is why I ask you for a link please?
I could see your argument (though not agree with it) if you were saying no footballer should be classed as a mercenary as they are trying to better themselves, but you obviously don't believe this as you named two that you see as mercenaries.
My assertion, again, is there is no difference between the two you have name and Rondon.
Furthermore, I thought it was obvious that me mentioning the conduct of Delph (he could have increased his signing on fee by in theory the £8.5m paid in a fee to vile) and Collins (could have done a sick vic and just taken the money instead of ripping up the contract he signed at vile, were sufficient examples of players who have done more than just turned down bigger wages elsewhere. I would contend there are lots more who don't put money first and stay loyal and don't want to uprooting their family etc, etc.
If we had gone up would you have welcomed Rondon back, even though he'd done absolutely nothing to help us to get us out of the mess he'd helped put us in when were relegated?
