He has not signed the lucrative contract yet waved in front of him and he gave an interview to the BBC without discussing it with the club . But wondered if ben Sterling had actually done something wrong . He has been called avaricious , capricious , disloyal and impressionable . We talk about loyalty in football as if it is a one - way street . Clubs generally have very little loyalty to players . They treat them as commodities . If he waits for time to think before he commits himself , it is absurdly unjust that he should be pilloried for it .
