What’s wrong with staying in a system and gaining experience and training while becoming a better player which will in turn help your team to be better?
What's wrong is you might be replaced by another transferee.

Saban and others for years were infamous for ruthlessly "processing" unwanted players. Nobody gave a shite about that. Now, when players attempt to get in front of things and exercise the power they DO have, they are "greedy" and "deserve to have their careers destroyed".

Really? I think it sucks that his career wasn't destroyed. A real blow to humanity that it wasn't.
