Exactly. imagine if someone increased @bobzy salary from £40k to £400k He wouldn’t be saying any of this. And I’ll pre-emptively answer the ‘but 40k is not £3m a year’. £40k a year to someone else would be an absolute fortune that they couldn’t understand why you’d ever need any more. (I have no idea how much @bobzy earns. It’s a wild guess.)

Lol. do u have more than two pairs of socks? one on your feet and one in the wash?

So many people in here not understanding human psyche. It’s human nature to just want MORE. It’s what makes us advance. What if we were just content with what we have all the time? ’why would anyone want to run a hundred metres under 10 seconds. What’s the point? 10.01 seconds is plenty fast enough.’ ’why do you want to fly, walking gets you most places you’d ever need to go.’ ’why do you want 2 cars? One is plenty.’ ’why do you want to eat any more than a single potato? It’s enough to satisfy your hunger.’ Why do we need cars that can go faster than 70mph? Why do we need designer clothes - a towel covers you up just fine. why do we need to go to the moon? The bottom of the ocean? Why do we need to make more and more powerful telescopes? The answer to all these questions is you don’t NEED any of this. If most of humanity shared the thoughts of some of you lot in here, we’d never advance as a species. We’d all still be walking around in the same place because ‘I’ve got everything I need right here.’ its Human nature to want the most that you can possibly get. And that’s what drives us forward.

That gif was designed for this moment

Even if you are in the uk you can appear to be not in the uk. Where is the replay available? I’m also interested

I’m not really sure what to say. Let me examine the picture and I’ll get back to you in due course.

Ok slippy.

I got to 1:01

Baileys first game he was electric - a real player. Cant help but think the injury/fitness was the bigger problem than lack of ability.

It’s moo-sa its the Arabic form for Moses.

Not at all. ‘The right offer’ is very much dependent person to person. Messi wouldn’t go to Saudi for £300m a year, but I suspect Olsen would for £10m a year. It’s not semantics, his point is quite clearly that even at ludicrous amounts on offer, most people would turn down an offer to play there, which I disagree with. With a big enough offer, I would say that almost EVERYONE would be willing to go. How big that offer is will obv vary from player to player. Even YOU would go, and I know you’re not a fan of the Saudis in the slightest.

the debate is about ‘the right offer’, not what is realistic. He literally suggested that if someone WAS to offer you £1m to live in downtown Mogadishu, that he would be stunned if you took the offer. But you’ve literally just said that you WOULD in fact do it for ‘the right offer’. Proving my point.

It really wouldn’t be stunning though would it? By definition ‘the right offer’ means it would happen. The only thing up for debate would be what ‘the right offer’ would be. If every footballer here was offered £1bn to play in the Saudi league for 1 year. I’d be stunned if less than 95% of them moved.

But how much is enough?

Can’t say I agree with you. The more names that go over there, the more justifiable it becomes to others. Right now they’re concentrating on recognisable top tier names. Soon they will shift their focus to the next tier to make it a competitive watchable spectacle. Then they’ve got a marketable product. if they wanted, they can even afford to broadcast it around the world free of charge - making it the go-to product for football because it doesn’t cost the viewer anything. Once it is the go to product, then everything else just falls into place. Think IPL of cricket.

Where will Monchi sit? 4 please.

Yes, there is that. Rather than independent businesses.

Even if we can get it down to £4.50 it doesn’t matter. He doesn’t want to come here. He wants a champions league team (but none want him) and now he wants Barcelona (who don’t want him).

This is a common, but completely flawed argument. How much is enough? Surely ones kids should be happy with getting a BMW instead of a Porsche? or a Skoda instead of a bmw? Or a pushbike instead of a Skoda? what is enough? You should strive to do the best that you possibly can. In 6 years, he can set up the next 10 generations of Neves’ - probably more.

He won the Ballon D’or. For the first time. That would make him in HIS prime. I.E at the top of his game. Ruben Neves is 26. regardless, I’m not sure of what the point you’re trying to make is. MY point is that money rules over all else. Even at 35, Benzema would have had many suitors all over the world. He chose a pay packet over heritage. There is not a footballer in this earth that can not be bought. I’m telling you now, if MBappe is offered £10bn, he’ll be playing in Saudi next year. it’s a sad state of affairs, but money spanks the shit out of heritage. And what do u mean by getting carried away?

In that case sir, have a like from me

how about the current ballon d’or winner Karim benzema?

In your eyes a morally decrepit, and likewise, you’re entitled to your opinion. In my eyes the USA is the most corrupt nation on the planet - where Messi just went for a windfall. Opinions. Opinions. Opinions. Yh, I’ll take my £500m and you can keep your misconceived moral high ground. Power to you.

What trophies have we won? He’s just won the treble. But Yh, if he had stayed he’d be in the midst of something special happening now. If only. Regardless, we got £100m for someone who didn’t want to be here - which is a good deal Paying a fortune for someone who doesn’t want to be here is a kick in the teeth. If he ends up here, there’s a bad taste in fans mouth, which could’ve just been avoided by not saying ANYTHING. Just shut your trap, and wait to see what happens. Edit: ‘shut your trap’ is referencing Félix, not @Captain_Townsend

The difference is that our idiot left to win trophies. This idiot has made it public knowledge that if he comes here, it’s literally because no other club on the planet want him.
