Just more players are getting disrespectful to their contract. I would not blame the players by doing it as it's their right. However, in term of ethic, such player has no professionality as a world class footballer.
Yeah this is pretty much the current situation. Back then the player has nothing to add onto the the transfer discussion. its either the club sell him or they dont and the player will keep playing with their best even if they are not happy in the club. I think this whole saga started when Harry Kane refused to play when he wanted the move but eventually when Tottenham said they still want him in the club, he still play as best as he could
