If you are playing for a top European club, it is no secret you are going to be earning big money.[LNB]"It is unlikely you will move to somewhere you don't want to be just for a little bit more money.[LNB]"No big players left Chelsea this year and that shows how much the players love it here. All of the other big four clubs had top players moving.[LNB]"I never thought John would really leave."[LNB]
