Its more important than a striker i.m.o and I think Osimhen would be an absolute game changer for us, I really do but our need for a leader at the back is far more important. Just got through watching some footage myself and see he plays on the right side. Even if we sold Trev AND Disasi I don’t see a place for him when we’ve got Fofana and Tosin. And with Colwill, Badiashile, and Veiga who can fill in on the left what would be the point in another CB this window? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not that deep. Money is not secondary to success. That's your opinion. Not so for Alisson, Ederson, Son, or Salah, to mention a few.

No it’s not my opinion. You ranking “success” (fan fantasies) as more important than money, I’ve said is not a concrete truth whatsoever; it is not something to realise as more important - that would not be true. That, would be an opinion. So I said, “Money is not secondary to success”, in response to you stating, players realise success is more important than money. That’s not true; neither are secondary nor primary in this context; indeed it’s person to person. Zoomed out obviously money is more important. That’s not an opinion lol. So it’s not an opinion of mine at all to highlight that you’ve drawn a conclusion, that’s not a conclusion. You have an opinion, your truth, that you’re stating like a fact. It’s not a fact. Money is not factually concretely secondary to success. That’s fan fantasy. That’s not realistic.

xPetrCechx 13,582 Posted August 28, 2024 Share Posted August 28, 2024 Enzo Maresca on Sterling, Chalobah and the others: “All the players who in this moment are training apart will NOT get any minutes in case they stay”.“My advice to Sterling? He knows exactly what he has to do”.“It’s not just Raheem, all of them”, says via @kierangill_DM. mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkh 627 Posted August 28, 2024 Share Posted August 28, 2024 Jadon Sancho is thought to have indicated a preference to join Enzo Maresca’s side over Juventus. ~ @JacobSteinberg Maresca talked today like he really wants Sancho. He said he knew him very well at City and will accept any player who will improve the team. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegetable 830 Posted August 28, 2024 Share Posted August 28, 2024 Thought the original concept was pushing someone to United for FFP shenanigans and getting Sancho as a side effect, instead of getting high-wages, doubtful-workrate washed out player into team overcrowded by 15 men being the point in itself.

Still not 3 million 'a month'. 🙂 Anyway, I obviously wasn't making a serious point. It is interesting though that the Saudi League operates a different pay structure from that which is common in Europe. The leagues which pay big salaries usually pay their players twice a year; typically January and July. I don't see why the Saudis are doing it differently. They must have a reason I suppose, but these players are not living payday to payday so it's not being done for their benefit. Is this perhaps the traditional pay structure in Islamic countries? If that is the case it sounds like something I should have known long before now. Better late than never is the best I could say for myself.

While you're at it, please point to the part where I stated anything as being a fact. All I did was state a number of players who rejected lucrative contract offers to remain in Europe & fight for honours. Of course, whilst you're on your high horse, you can talk to those individuals about their "fan fantasies." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen in interviews with players coming back from there (not the CR7 tier, rather local-league tier) that (allegedly) the issue is, they will pay the contract. If they want to. If clubs don't find the player or the club performing to their liking or not really in financial position to do so, well, too bad.
