And so you should be if you want to become successful in this business. We have been guilty of holding too many players past their expiry dates. Rooney, Anderson, Evra to name a few in recent years. Even someone like Giggs in his final two seasons was taking up a valuable squad place that could have been given to someone 20 years younger.
Sentiments like these is one of many reasons why we've been so appalling in recent years. There is simply no room to carry passengers anymore. Just look at City, they got rid of all their deadwood last summer and replaced them with quality. This summer they'll probably replace their club captain that took them to two league titles, simply because he isn't contributing enough. There is also talk about replacing Kun who has been in decline since Pep arrived. Kompany and Aguero. Two club legends and the backbone of City for the past 6-7 years. And here we are, getting touchy because our club wants to get rid of a guy who has been underwhelming for best part of 18 months since his signed for the club.
If being heartless and ruthless is the requirement to become successful then sign me up. This isn't a charity, it's a professional football club where players are paid insane money to perform consistently at a very high level.
