Ouch, Iker-Bastian reality football... must hurt


Iker Casillas to Porto and Bastian Schweinsteiger to United.

I have repeated that a couple of times this morning trying to wrap my head around it – intentionally avoiding the footballing cliché ‘like so-and-so wraps his foot…’

Both, one-club men and when you run through the stats, one-man clubs.

There is the reality of football as business (and I intentionally avoid the Blatter pun).

The European Super Clubs – Real Madrid and Bayern Munich - that birthed these two rest as much on the legacy of a great past, as on the drive for current success.

It must hurt fans. Badly.
