All it took was being set up for life with $$$ to persuade some of the very best golfers to switch footballers are no different at all and it won't take 400 to change the balance of power, realist? I'd hate to see players like Diaby go there but for the right money they will. Different situation. The equivalent would be to fill a whole league with top talent which they are not going to be able to do. Golf is easy far easier to move than football.

MrBlack Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Anyone know anywhere that will confirm whether Diaby is at training today? Are they streaming it on YouTube again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I think this deals getting more expensive as day passes. Big transfer fee big wages ans no gurantee he wont be a bailey mark 2.

PieFacE Posted July 19, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) If he does decide to go to Saudi over us then fair enough, good move financially no doubt. Just want it sorted one way or the other asap really so we can get him or a replacement in for pre-season. Edited July 19, 2023 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? I’ve heard stuff like it’s the end of the Premier League. I think that’s getting carried away. I agree money talks but I don’t think we need to start worrying about the Saudi league becoming the biggest league the signs the best players anytime soon. In fact it will never happen. Benzema is old now and Nevez is good but hardly world class. Anyway we’re going off topic now. As I said before if a Saudi team are really in the mix I think he will go there. So be it. Plenty of players out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't not sign players from the Bundesliga just because certain players from there have flopped though. What if Liverpool passed on Luis Suarez because Afonso Alves flopped?

Yeah i know what your saying but what im saying if its getting more and more expensive and it depletes our budget more and more each day then dont bother as a) big gamble b) we need to prioritise mutiple positions He looks good fdom the xlipa i saw but i remember looking at baileys and he looked better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a still a top player just struggles with confidence in my opinion. I agree we shouldn’t blow a big proportion of our budget on this player though. But I’ve never seen him play so would say that. He could be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
