The Saudis are hell bent on destroying the PL, guys do they know there are other leagues with great players and managers?

I love him a little bit more now.

Especially as he once said "I will not lose as I have lots of money" but I don't think he would ever kill someone on purpose.

This may be a controversial hot take but I think this whole Saudi buying football thing sucks!!!

In transfer news, Kim Min-Jae has gone from Napoli to Bayern. He looked immense in Napoli’s defense in every game I watched, so seems like a big loss for them. But someone who watches Serie A way more than I do can probably comment better/tell me I’m wrong.

He's very good and he's fuckin massive so he should do just fine. Would've gone for a lot more if the clause in his contract wasn't there.

Pulisic had 2 assists against a newly promoted Serie C side today so I think we can say that he is the signing of the summer and he's always been insanely good.

Onana is done.

Manchester United just quietly signing players without negotiations taking the entire transfer window is very odd.

I don't mind him taking the money but he was blatantly virtue signaling at every opportunity. I doubt his family would have any financial issues if he never went to Saudi, at his level if you have any investments you are set for life just on dividends.

Ya and I honestly don't even see this happening in Football. It seems way more common in NFL/NBA. Also if we are talking about specifically about Hendo pretty sure unless he is a drug addict and in jail he would get a huge Sky Sports/BT contract the day he retired if he finished. Or he could start a podcast like Ben Forster/Gary Neville/Rio. Basically no matter what lovely argument you put up, Henderson in 99% of scenarios would make poo poo loads of money either way. Ok instead of making 30m in RSA he would make 3-5m in US then sit on his rear end on TV and get paid few million just to talk.

My point is not players going to Saudi Arabia, that's fine and I think people even get overdramatic at points but Hendo is definitely weird and he marginalize the people he was saying he stood up for by doing this.

If I am a prem player I would just not renew my contract now and wait for stupid dumbass money offer from Saudi. Can you imagine how much they would pay for a Bruno Fernandes when they paying these wages to Hendo.

I think Madrid will end up signing him for like 20m. There is some benefit to having Mbappe for a season than not having him. And PSG seem to think any sale is better than no sale.

The only problem is the giant loyalty bonus Mbappe is supposedly due next summer, as well as however much more PSG would have paid him for this season. I imagine those things could be covered by either PSG or Madrid; it would then just be reflected in the signing fee.
