Of course money is a factor but if it really meant that much to him, why not engineer a move away from the club when in his prime like Ade did? Why stay on £60k for that long?
Sagna was on the same contract since 2008. He's a solid first team performer and there are kids in our squad that haven't even proven they are first team worthy, close to earning around the same amount he earns. Some surpass it and were offered extensions with years left to burn on their previous deals. We're so anxious to secure the services of players that have yet to fulfill their potential but are really slow when reacting to the older players. I've always had a problem with it. We're doomed to making the same mistakes if we don't sort this out. Focus should go on the staff and management.
