So strange this, L’Equipe saying we haven’t agreed a fee but could still come. Polish media saying we have agreed a fee. Haway Fabrizio sort it out with a tweet
Can I also add that Neom SC’s badge is quite possibly the worst sporting badge of all time genuinely looks like something you’d see on a sign in a Business park in the Midlands.
I’m gonna say I still think he’s going to NEOM based on everything on balance. But I definitely think it’s possible NEOM are being used to increase our offer, either by Nice or Bulka
Bottom line is he comes or he doesn’t trust the club to get it done if there is a realistic chance. The fact we could get Diarra done speaks volumes
Imagine the crowds for a club for a town that doesn’t exist yet. The league average was under 9k and that was massively inflated by the ‘big 3’ if a ‘big’ Saudi club is even a thing.
Things are moving way to fast to judge what is accurate and what is conjecture. As always, wait for scarf pics, same with Diarra.
oh yeh the guy is an absolute cretin for choosing them. I mean if you’re gonna take the cash at least go to one of the clubs with other decent players and a crowd
Seems the club with Neves is the closest thing to a ‘real’ club there. The 2 with bigger crowds are the ‘royal’ teams at the big national stadium. Al Hilal might actually have fans. They averaged 17k.
My thoughts are this... Neom swooped in, got a fee agreed - Guardian and Santi reporting that Sunderland don't want to give up or lose him, got a fee agreed with Nice - Polish media reporting that now (likely happened after Neom's agreement) Now down to the player
