I assume the rest is down to the clubs and asking price. Also, as bad as it sounds, if I were getting offered generational wealth type money in Saudi, i'd have to think about it. We are just looking from a Football fan perspective. As what is " ambition " .... is it to earn as much as possible from your career, or to live in Birmingham? lol EDIT: Is your post about Diaby, or Henderson?

I think it's futile to try and compare being a footballer to our/normal work situations tbh. Sport is massively different - unless of course there's some continental competition that IT bods and accountants take part in hoping for glory and silverware that I've never heard of. Also - he'll be making a heap of money with us anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Apologies, just playing catch-up on this thread... Is Diaby now linked to Saudi Arabia? I heard last night Newcastlearabia were trying to tempt him also.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSvillain Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Most players will know they can have a proper career and then move to Saudi when they hit 32/33, still allowing them to accumulate wealth for generations to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard last night Newcastlearabia were trying to tempt him also.... Apparently Al Nassr ( Ronaldos club ) are interested in him, but he wants to join us and has already agreed terms etc Seems the fee between clubs is the sticking point. However if Al Nassr offer his club cash and him stupid money, who knows if it changes? Edited July 14, 2023 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I think football fans lose as the quality/effort will go down. Might as well watch wrestling. The acting is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the players get tempted by even more money, I think the quality might improve in the Middle East, while simultaneously weakening it here. I don't think the sporting quality will improve. So I hope it fails personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
