I'm sure plenty of non-turds have done the same, which would you rather have on YOUR team? That isn't the point. The point is just because someone is a turd doesn't mean they won't play well enough to earn their contract. My point is, if I am going to spend that kind of money, I want to spend it on a non-turd. If I plan to spend that kind of cash, and I have a choice, I'd take the non-turd everytime. EDIT: Actually, if I'm spending that kind of money, I wouldn't waste it on the turd at all, I'd just save the money and let someone else waste their cash on the turd...
