Melanicus 5,208 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 What do you think? For example moving from Liverpool to Chelsea? New team-mates, new manager, new enviroment, new fans... Your previous fans hate you? Are tranfers hard for players themselves? What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Well I guess it depends on the player's character and state of mind. Professionalism also plays a part, as long as the player realizes he has a job to do, he should have the determination to do it regardless.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Depends on circumstances too. Like if it's out of profession development and leaving the old fans sour, like Torres to Chelsea, then it's hard.If it's something like moving from Doncaster Rovers to Chelsea, then it must be the most amazing feel you can have. Depends on what terms you left your old club really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kez 2,727 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Fair point. Can player leave Liverpool to Chelsea without letting angry fans?Nope because they are mindless morons with half a brain cell between all of them. They don't realise when they burnt their Torres shirts they were actually burning their badge. Retards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Well, I think the hardest part is actually leaving your friends behind, making your family leave their friends behind (if they move with you) and it's especially hard for young children to fit in a new place with a new language and a new school (if they move from one country to another). It would certainly be the hardest part for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I can only say 'yes' as an answer to this question. It is the same as moving homes, or getting a new job. It is actually quite like moving to a new country I would assume; there is a new footballing 'culture' to learn, you must adapt to meet new people and leave old friends behind... footballers are only human afterall (and don't we know that, considering their faults...)

chrismada9 1,948 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I agree with Alex here, and I would add to that the actual fee of the player as well! I feel there would be some pressure on a player whom the club have paid a lot of money for. Not only would he expect to make the fans of the club happy, but also, if he's a well-known player like Torres, you would have to try and get the media off your back, and the media can be a real pain, and can sometimes damage confidence!

Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Give me the money they are given and I'll go anywhere you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson 358 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Yes, but only for a short while. It's like going on holiday, you get to know the place, make friends and enjoy yourself. The only difference is the players have a whack of money lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krypt 241 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I would say yes. Its hard for some people to adjust to new surroundings and people etc , though really footballers are under the limelight and public eye so much it may affect them less , also the money will be a great incentive.
