From .tv:

Liverpool have announced the sale of defender Lee Peltier to Yeovil Town.

The 20-year-old Academy graduate, who has four Liverpool appearances to his name, has been on loan at the League One outfit since the start of the season.

Good Luck Peltier ... I always thought he was a middie ...
 
Can you imagine? Ten years of playing for Liverpool's youth and reserves sides, dreaming of making it at one of the biggest clubs in the world... and then you end up at Yeovil Town.

Cruel game...

There must be some footballers who actually hate playing.

He went to Yeovil as a midfielder and played CM with a lad called Jones who was also on loan (from the Scum). He looked okay but nothing special. He switched to right back due to defensive injuries and although he still didn't look anywhere near Premier league standard he acquited himself well in that position. Good luck to him he will probably have a decent career at that level but he will struggle in either of the top 2 divisions from what I've seen.

Stephen Ireland. I'm sure there's many more that do it out of neccessity than love though.
 
David Batty, the defensive midfielder who used to play for Leeds and England, once told journalists that he did not enjoy playing football and only did it for the money.

That kind of came out in his style of play.

Masher said something similar about not really enjoying football, sort of.
 
Babel said he wanted to be a rapper, he got told to do that after he'd finished with football.

Bye bye Peltier, decent player glad he's found regular football somewhere. Wonder how much he went for.
 
Vieri said something similar too. He said he was good at football and got paid a lot of money to do it, that's why he does, not cos he enjoys it....mate.
 
To be fair, most things become less enjoyable when you start doing them for a living.

When people like us play football, it's a release from our everyday cares and worries. But for most professional footballers, it IS their everyday cares and worries. Especially now, with so much pressure and money on results...

Gabriel Batistuta once said that he preferred tennis over football, and saw the latter merely as his profession. That doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy it, but it isn't his greatest passion.

Hahahahahahaha.

I think I could rise to the occasion.
 
Most footballers must have loved football at one stage, but I am sure there are some who end up getting pretty sick of it, and some who were probably good all rounders but chose football because of the money.

As has been mentioned, Agger doesn't seem too fussed. I have heard Mark Viduka say before that he won't stay in football when he retires from playing and that he really isn't much of a fan.

It seems like a great job to us, but ultimately it is still just a job.
 
He must be one of those from his batch to make it further in the footballing heights. (Is Adam Hamill from the same batch?)

Nice to see his steady raise since leaving the club - from Yeovil to Huddersfield and now Leicester.

The versatile 24-year-old, who ended last season in midfield, has proved a revelation at the Galpharm Stadium since signing from Yeovil for a small fee in the summer of 2009, making a total of 103 appearances in his two seasons with the club.

Following Town's play-off final defeat last month, Peltier now looks set for second-tier football with Leicester, subject to a medical and agreeing personal terms, where he will be reunited with former Terriers first-team coach Derek Fazackerley who is now assistant to Sven-Goran Eriksson.

Huddersfield manager Lee Clark told the club's official website: "I've just spoken to Lee and wished him the best of luck. He has been fantastic for me and I think he is a Premier League footballer in the making."

Chairman Dean Hoyle added: "Of course we are disappointed to be losing a player of his quality but that is the nature of football and Leicester matched our valuation for Lee. As one player departs, it creates opportunities for others to shine."
