With a user name like that I ' d expect you to put out some feelers every now and then <| sep |> Trying to practice a dangerous sport with homemade equipment , WCGW <| sep |> Sending thoughts and prayers . <| sep |> Probably want to clarify . You aren ' t going to drive the 4 hours to those of us in STL correct ? <| sep |> Common courtesy Please , Thank you , etc . <| sep |> Why ? Those statements are pure PR , especially since journos give disproportionate weight to every possible transfer rumour out there . Players are contractors , and if they get an offer of better money , same playing time most will take it . Fabregas once said he ' d never join Chelsea . Nobody really takes these statements as some kind of honourbound vow players will hold until they die . Players like Gerrard and Totti pretty much don ' t exist anymore .
