Radja Nainggolan

Right, but he could be earning very good money in a competitive team and league, with the hope of making the world cup squad. The thing is, if it was all about money he'd have left Roma years ago.

Yeah cheers.
None of us can possibly know when someone else has a moment of clarity. We don't know what's going on in his personal life, or if the fallout we hear about with him drinking and dossing has been triggered by something.

I dunno, I just think these things can be seen through a simple lens, by us, the fans, but this is a job to a lot of players, and one in which maximising earnings is far more important than leagues, trophies and World Cups.

That's a fair point tbf. I don't personally agree with your point about maximising earnings being more important than winning leagues, trophies and world cups, but I can appreciate that others (including Naingollan) may see it that way.
 
If I was a player that was very good but not great, being able to sign for massive money that only Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar etc are on then I'd be straight to China, obviously if I were as good as the three mentioned you'd get that money anywhere so I'd play for the best club possible, but these players going to China just want to maximize their earnings, it's greedy but understandable.
 
Nainggolan (AS Roma) will move to Guangzhou (coach Fabio Cannavara) Price 50 million euros ( £45 million). His salary will be 12 million euros.
The club itself has to pay another 44 million euros (luxe taxes) to a development fund in China itself.
I think this club is the 4th richest footballclub in the world.
