So this will be his last contract, makes sense for him to get the cash in after playing on the highest level for so many years. The scheme is the same: Saudis bascially sign players for their last contract in their carreer, except a few like Malcom who failed at top clubs. SMS and Neves going there is bigger surprise because they are in prime years. Strike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t realize he was 30+. For some reason I thought he was still like 27-28. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neves especially, SMS really was only a transfer window gossip, he realised we wont ever sign for a big club tho. Neves I feel like could have made a move to United etc, but on the other hand, he was going down the same route as SMS tbh. Rumour every summer but no club moves for him.

Nothing against this business model, what I'm moaning about is that building for future is fine to do along other transfers, but hoarding raw or very raw talents/"talents" for future is nowhere the equal replacement of building the squad for the season that starts in few weeks and it's being kinda mixed up with each other under new ownership… Edited July 26, 2023 by Vegetable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't know how much, if anything, of a scam this project is, but they are, so far, pretty much like the MLS, Chinese and Turkish league somewhat combined. Maybe they will slow down in a window or two, but it's actually interesting - the wipe out of quite established players from big leagues will surely enable existence of talents and moves that wouldn't be possible otherwise, so it's impact on Euro football may not only be monetary.

And its all about the money. Look at the money mpappe would get. Thats so crazy. But the good players go where the money is. Why would anybody go to PSG?? Just because of the fkn money. Its ezy as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAM09 7,061 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 1 hour ago, Pizy said: Verratti is the first top class player who’s still in their prime to go there. That one has to be worrying for the sport. Old, past it former stars going there in their mid 30’s is nothing or players who flamed out at big clubs. But if they start splashing silly money and enticing genuine, currently world class players to go there then it could seriously harm the ability of big clubs in the market. A number of the recent signings aren't exactly past it - SMS, Fofana, Malcom (coming off his recent season), and Neves, to name a few. If the Saudi clubs continue at this rate, the league standard will probably be higher than most in Europe by 2025. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It offers a fantastic opportunities. Apart from some of the pious Muslim players, I'm not sure that many of them are moving to Saudi for their lifestyle.

He is far from a shocking footballer. He was average in a shocking team last season. A shocking footballer does not have the season he did at Palace where he nearly touched double figures. He put in top performances for Palace, contributed to their win at their Etihad against the best team in the world. I remember he put in two MOTM performances against Arsenal that season. Name me one player who was not poor last season. Give him a chance. We have lost so many CM and not bought one. So makes logic to sell another one who is full England international right? He has proven himself that he can perform at a very good level in the PL and has the addition of English tax. Well in our rights to ask for £50m.

There's a big example for me from even this summer, Sandro Tonali, boyhood AC Milan fan in his club living his dream he probably fantasised daily about as a child gave it up for a new life in North East England. The pay packet even the shitter teams in England can offer is convincing players and managers to join teams/clubs well well below their level (Emery, Conte). Europe is going to have to fight back at some point which only means one thing, a super league back on the menu (not that the PL isn't one in all but name anyway). enzoforever, OneMoSalah and Strike 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
