PieFacE Posted July 14, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 14, 2023 I'm not too worried about the Saudi link tbh. Seems he's already agreed terms with us and has his heart set on the PL. I'd be more worried if PSG were suddenly interested 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of course will not want to go from an ethical, family point of view. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Diaby. Henderson I get. Older, already achieved much in his career. One last big pay day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) People getting a bit carried away with the whole Saudi thing destroying premier league football. There’s a hell of a lot of top of players out there. I’m sure losing the odd few to Saudi isn’t going to destroy the quality of a league which is the most watched in the world. People aren’t going to flock to watch Saudi games on tv due to over the hill top players with the odd youngster sell out in the mix. Not anytime soon anyway!

The_Steve Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 This “Max Lee” person who they be, despite being on Twitter since 2009 only made 97 tweets. I find that impossible if this was a real journalist or someone with actual knowledge. Unless they’ve mass deleted stuff. Also, prior to tweeting about Diaby claimed that Countiho was soon off to Saudi on July 3, but he’s still here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to write "ITK" accounts off when they get something very wrong. He's yet to do that. That said, i'm not saying he's legit, I'm just not certain at this stage if he's full of it. (which he most likely is, tbf). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. But the Saudi agenda is to sports wash and gloss over their horrendous human rights record. You can be mad about both but be clear that Saudi operation is petro-fuelled PR and using football as a vehicle to change how people view the regime there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
