    With the Saudi’s building up their football, places like Neom not yet built but still attracting so many top footballers, I wonder how long they will be keeping their toy club up the road.
    They will have no need to have the mags when they want to promote their domestic game.
    The mags might have a huge upheaval coming and who knows what will happen when the Saudis pull out.

    This. It’s going to cost over 25x the annual Saudi budget. That’s assuming all goes well, which of course, it never does.

    I’m assuming it’s being done with the World Cup in mind. As it gets closer to the date and they become more desperate to finish, they’ll no doubt be on the news with more human rights atrocities with the slave labourers they’ll have imported to complete the project.

    I was speaking to a Man Utd scout on Saturday and I asked him if we had a chance, he said he'd be shocked if they sold him as he's highly rated by the manager and there's been zero talk of him being sold

    Sounds fair.

    Still though, he didn’t say ‘definitely not’ so….

    A vanity project for the Saudi Crown Prince. Apparently to complete it'll cost $8 TRILLION, only 25 times the size of the entire annual Saudi economy...

    No he didn't, he's not a decision maker there either and things change so quickly in football but it's a highly unlikely deal

    I'd have said we had a 0.1% chance about a week ago but with everything since I'd say that's risen dramatically to 2% :D

    I have a feeling the new left back is going to be very,very good
    Sneaked under the radar just because he is 'free'

    Lads played 100 games in 2.5 years for Simeone mate.

    We can be relaxed about his calibre for sure.

    It’s not as if he’d be on the breadline if he came here on a 5 year contract earning over £3m a year.

    I hope he stays injury free and absolutely balls out. Very much like the idea of having him and Hume Bombing up

    Saints rejected £19 million for THB, wonder where their line is ‘open to selling’.

    It’s above Cresswell already clearly and I’d prefer Cresswell.

    No new links so far today after about 5 after 8pm on a Sunday is an outrage.

    sort it out Ghisolfi. Earn that money we're not paying you yet.
