Loyalty a dying breed

Written by Yas

So the latest Real Madrid recruitment drive is in full flow, and once again Manchester United's Ronaldo is the target, albeit the latest hoo hah is based on his own quotes.

Ronaldo has stated that it is his dream to one day to go to Spain but he is happy to be at United. Having seen the interview he has stated that he wants to be at United next season but nobody knows what the future may bring. This has prompted the media to question Ronaldo's commitment.

They've done the same with Adebayor (who has also said positive things about playing in Spain)and Fabregas recently.

Is it just me or does this just annoy the Hell out of everybody?

I love Ronaldo; he's beena revelation these past two seasons but is it too much to expect loyalty to the club, the manager and the fans who stood by him in the wake of the World Cup? The likelihood is that he will stay at least another season but you just don't ever expect him to commit to his full contract. His fellow teammate Rooney was accused of doing the same to Everton.

Are the days of players like Giggs, Scholes, Adams, Dixon et al a thing of the past?
Is loyalty a dying breed?
Or are we wrong to expect that a player should not feel that after 5-6 years at a club he is within his rights to consider moving on?
