What you're missing, I think, is that just because players (and managers) are paid gazzillions of pounds, that is no reason to expect them to deliver what they are being paid for. Likewise with appearances. In no way should a player be expected to fight for a place in the team by playing well. He should be guaranteed first team football in his contract.
