Ah ok. I saw he had signed a two year extension but didn’t take into account he had a year left too which makes it 3.
I'm surprised seeing as it's a Saudi club MC didn't try and squeeze more of a transfer fee out of them.
Not wanting to turn this into a City thread but will also be interesting to see what happens with Bernardo. Interest from Saudi, PSG and Barcelona apparently. Doubt Barcelona would be able to afford him though. But if they lose Mahrez and Bernardo they definitely need to do some work on their right side.
They still have Foden but I agree, they will definitely need another player or two.
It is weird. He is still one of their main players and they do not need money
Even Saudis probably have limits when it comes to sportswashing. We can but dream.
Bonkers. We would struggle to get that for Gray.
Well, if that happens that will be it for myself and football I think. Franchise sports are not real sports as there are no consequences to losing. Money rules the world though unfortunately so yes, football will become much like the NFL, and I'm sure the younger generation will get used to it and love it. Definitely not for me though.
That’s what will happen I think. I remember my folks complaining about games being played Sundays as the Saturday 3pm kick off was for the fans.
I’m with you 100%. The reality is tho that the US & Arab money that owns and operates football has no pedigree or tradition in the sport. They understand how to turn sport into generating money from tv revenue, sponsorship & advertising. admittedly they do it very well. A lot of experience living and working in both these parts of the world - they both understand acquiring and building brands. But it’s all they care about. Rightly or wrongly.
