I think the players need to move to where they can play football rather than think they've made it and sit on the bench at a big club. You only have a certain amount of years as a footballer and you need to take each one. The lack of ambition (in terms of achievement rather than money) is a problem. Too many players are happy to play bit-roles at a bigger club for bigger money then actually play football elsewhere, especially abroad.
