It's suprising to see the lack of loyalty football stars have for their clubs these days.

With Cristiano Ronaldo dreaming of a move from Manchester United to Real Madrid, Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor apparently on the hit list of both Milan clubs and Barcelona, Dimitar Berbatov's continuous want-away antics at Spurs, and over at Chelsea, Frank Lampard's high wage demands and Didier Drogba seemingly missing the company of "The Special One", surely this silly season will be one to remember.

It seems to me that football players have forgotten all about the fun bit. Forgotten their roots. Forgotten to look back to where they came from and to recognise how lucky they are to be where they are today.

It's a shame, though, because youngsters these days look up to these stars. Kids see how they act. They watch their petty diving acts with no thoughts of remorse. They watch them roll around and not get up to take the quick free-kick that has been given in their favour.

Questions need to be asked. Do these players really care about anything or anybody other than themselves? Do they feel they are being paid to entertain, even if it means diving, feigning injury or scoring the occasional sensational goal?

Perhaps they see it as a job and therefore treat it as one. They go into what they see as work most days, train for a couple of hours, have a laugh with the lads (and possibly a massage), before going back to there luxurious mansions to have dinner cooked (by their WAG or not!). Sounds like the best job in the world to me.

I have noticed over the past couple of years (since the infamous Ronaldo wink, to be exact) that players never seem to smile. They look pessimistic even. When was the last time you heard one say something good and uplifting? If you have seen some fair play I must be looking in all the wrong places (Sky Sports not doing me any favours, then!) Club loyalty has been brought into question and more often than not the player chooses self-interest.

But surely players don't see themselves as stars who are bigger than the club? Imagine how hard it must be to get the most out of egotistical footballers. Who do these people really think they are?

Football is no more a job than a hobby and should be treated as such. If a club agrees to pay you for taking up your hobby full-time (regardless of how good you are), surely you should be appreciative and show some support or loyalty for the club regardless of all other circumstances.

In short, some players see themselves as wonders who need to be loved and adored. People who buy their shirts are just adding fuel to their egos.
