Unfortunatley Saints supporters, indeed fans of any club have to accept that nowadays the finnacial temptations on offer are far too much for youngsters to turn down and whilst this might not be the greatest thing for Chamberlains career in the short term, he had given himself the guarantee of wealth far beyong what he would recieve at Saints should his career fail to continue to prosper through injury or other ways.
