Not with a ton of people in his ear telling him to go there, and not playing for a club that had just narrowly missed out on relegation and had severe financial difficulties at the time.
There are many reasons he went there, it wasn't simply 'the lure of Man Utd'.
There had been an enormous amount of politicking and spin for the previous 12-18 months, which is why many of us - who remember that period so vividly, are always so suspicious of the Baines/Barkley type speculation nowadays.
..players will leave us, lets not be romantic about it. If you were a pro, you'd do the same. Its really naïve to think players stay for the glory of the badge. Players at international level are corporate commodaties and they will move because of the amount of money involved and the fact that so many hangers on are on 10%.
Thought Ross was great at time today
I just think he has to be tad less selfish
Sometimes he goes sprinting off and doesn't look to pass
He's still young though. I imagine he will be more generous with the ball as he matures

was brilliant for me mickey, his selfishness didn't bother me though, it was only the fact he should have had a couple pops from distance that bothered me. the lads got a great shot on him, i'm sure we'll see more of it when he's more established; caused chelsea no end of problems though.
I think there only needs to be slight alterations to certain aspects of his play and I'm sure that will happen as he matures as a player
Sometimes a well placed pass to a team mate can do more damage than run on goal

I very much disagree with this. The times he didn't play the pass was because he didn't feel he could complete it successfully.
I would actually like to see him be more selfish, especially within the last 35 yards. He can dribble, shoot, has skill and technique, and goals win games. Good players need to be selfish for the sake of their team. I'd like to see him showing off as much as possible.
There was an instance where he took the ball in his own half, shrugged off a challenge, drove into the opposition area, looked up and there was absolutely no one at all to pick out on the counter - yet he still nearly picked out Mirallas (I think) with a decent pass to the left.
The lad was very good. Yes, silly cross field pass early on that Ramires capitalised on but that was the exception rather than the rule. The fact is that we'd be a dramatically weaker side with him out of our starting eleven.

I''m clearly miles apart from everyone else on this issue it would seem
the balls he played when knocking it down the line on the volley, and to send Kev through agaiant Louis are the touches of a player on another level
