I would like to thank Ed002 for all his very interesting comments and insight into transfer activities.
One comment that did get me thinking was the one about a player moving from the South of France to Merseyside being a big cultural issue. I was born and brought up Liverpool. I then spent time working in Widnes, Manchester, Bradford and then Connecticut, why because I needed a job.
Each step was a big cultural change in those days in the 1960-1970/ s. I remember when I lived in Meanwood, Leeds I would go up to the pub and order a pint in my Scouse accent and everyone would turn their backs. Don't even get me started about the cultural change when we moved to the US. If I was making the sort of money these players are making a few years in Liverpool would not be a hardship.

Blue Mike75,
I was also born in Liverpool and brought up, -- well, sort of way out in Huyton. I HATED scouse. Now I live in Florida and have to make my own scouse, which I love! On the other hand, reference culture shock, I cannot persuade the Italian-American side of my family to enter the same room with it!

{Ed025's Note - whats up with them yanks don?, you cant beat a good pan of scouse on a cold night with red cabbage or beetroot...if they ate more scouse instead of all them burgers and fries they would be a lot healthier nation mate..i could be like the jamie oliver of the states.. :)
