Call me a naive romantic or whatever but I believe some players should stay at their clubs where their name is engraved so to say. Trying to convince them with money etc. to make a transfer to the archrivals is not something I like, especially with players that became symbols for their clubs. That said, even asking for Casillas would piss me off.
Metin Oktay who is a Galatasaray legend was made an offer from Fenerbahce's president in that time, his response was short but maybe the more meaningful "we shouldn't hurt the ones who love us"...
I understand the economics, the business model etc. of this game as well as the commercialisation it has been through, however I still like to see some emotions in the game.
Figo's leaving Barca was Barca's mistake above everything else. However I just think it's not appropriate to ask for Casillas when he is going through shitty times at the club he loves, even if that's a rival.
I like to see my favorite club like that...
