Ince told Paddy Power: “Diego Costa is at Chelsea, scoring goals and enjoying his football, yet he’s still open to leaving for China.
“Why? £2m a month tax free is an obvious attraction, but that doesn’t substitute for winning medals and performing at the very elite in your game.
“That’s just pure greed. Whether it’s now or at the end of the season that isn’t the point. Costa is 28-years-old.
“He could play at Chelsea for the next two years, earn good money, and still go to China when he’s 30. Carlos Tevez has just made the switch and he’s 32.
“Player power is massive nowadays. When I was at Manchester United Sir Alex Ferguson was the gaffer and whatever he said, it happened.
“There was no discussion. He had complete control. These days it’s not the same, and particularly with foreign players.
“A lot of them expect to be at a club for two years and then move on, and if they don’t get that move a lot of them will sulk until they can engineer a transfer.”
