1) Money - I aint playing for free.

2) Attractiveness of league - Would want to play in the best possible once the money side is covered.

3) Level of club - Going to effect how many magazine deals etc I can get.

4) Friends/family - Would be boring without them :lol:

5) Weather - Bit of sun so I can show off my new convertible B)

6) Manager - Wouldn't reallt hold much sway over me tbh, how many people don't like their boss and do just fine?

7) Competition for places - I'm pretty confident by nature, wouldn't be afraid of a challenge.

8) Club history - Wouldn't matter to me at all.

Okay, my final list is....

1. Whether it's Arsenal or not (yes, I added this)
2. Attractiveness of league - I'd be a league snob, only EPL or La Liga. Maybe Serie A at a stretch.
3. Level of club
4. Friends/family - Turns out I like to be near the parentals (i'm a mommy's girl AND a daddy's girl) so would take a lower paying job in England over a higher paying job in Spain
5. Money - If all the clubs were at the same levels, similar ambitions and in the same location money would be the decider
6. Weather - If my family were happy to move with me, the place with the best weather for me would be my choice
7. Manager - not too fussed in all honesty
8. Competition for places - I'd be the best so it wouldn't matter.
9. Club history - if it's not the club I support, I couldn't give a crap.

Depends on your own circumstances (age, ability, position, wealth, aspirations) which dictate every criteria in that list.

True but I guess the above answers show that different things, matter to different people so who are we to judge why such a player chooses one club over another. <_<

yes, but an experienced, wealthy player is going to have completely different reasons for going to club x over and above an emerging 18 years old who isn't getting first team opportunities at club y.

both are ambitious, but will choose different clubs for valid reasons.

Just out of curiosity stacie i would have thought manager would be high on your list.. especially when seeing at arsenal how a manager can really inspire you.. henry would not have been the player he was/is without wenger
Rivaldo greatest player in my time

I get your point but joining because of a particular manager wouldn't be higher on my list than the other reasons. I'm not really one who's found a need to be inspired by people in charge.
