I don't like sports analogies, and this one seems totally wrong.
I heard of the Yankees but I never heard of Orioles, but Chelsea and
West Ham are both Premier League clubs as far as I know.
IBM is Premier League too, but Rocket Software is definitely not, they
are not even in the 2nd division.
So our guy didn't get sold to West Ham to get the chance to play in
their first team and score the winning goal against Man U.
He ended up in some provincial team and won't ever get the chance to
play at Wembley at all.

Like most guys, I relate best to sports analogies. This feels like getting
traded from the Yankees to the Orioles. For those of you across the pond,
think of being transferred from Chelsea to West Ham United.
It's a good analogy - if you are playing in the third team for the Yankees
or Chelsea then getting transferred to the Orioles (whoever they are) or
West Ham may be the best thing that happens to you.
You get to play in the first team, you get to take part in the big matches,
you have a chance of scoring the winning goal against Manchester United in
the FA Cup, you get a chance of being noticed.
Being somebody in a smaller team can be many times better than being nobody
in a big one.
