Money over first team football? Hardly.
maybe he had confidence in his ability to get a first team spot.
He was never going to get in a Chelsea team in front of Ballack, Makelele, Essien, Lampard, Mikel. That's not confidence, it's delusion.
Well either way, he's clearly showing now that first team football does matter to him.
So much so that his agent is already mentioning a loyalty bonus from Chelsea when he leaves? Seems exactly like a money-grabbing t*** to me.
true.
