I completely disagree with the notion that you'll have more loyalty if you come up through the ranks versus a transfer as a young player.

There have been many, many instances, where players come into a club and give and display there loyalty through and through. Immediate examples would be Zidane for Real Madrid, Henry for Arsenal, Rooney for United.

Secondly, Beckham's and Ronaldo's WC incidents can be compared, because both were getting major stick from the media and fans thereafter. One chose to keep quiet, commit to the club and go from there. The other, thought it was wise to demand a transfer. Then demand a wage increase.

Whether you like it or not, Ronaldo has not shown his loyalty to the club YET. Signing a lengthy contract means nothing. Because he can always request a transfer within the length of the contract.

As loyal as Neville. Hilarious
