People need to not view the Saudi league as like the Chinese in terms of getting some mega fee out of it, but if he wants to go there and it gets his wage off our books that's the best we can hope for with maybe a nominal fee.
Getting his wage off the bill, getting any fee for a 30+ would be amazing, however, we need the player with a vision to replace him.

Hang on, we were playing a team who's manager has come out and said that he specifically told his players not to press, they did it anyway and we scored from it. Tbf if we'd had two wingers on in the first half I think the team would have fared a lot better and got goals in that half too.

Didn't he say he didn't want them to press the keeper? They pressed our back 4 quite a lot I thought but never Allsop apart from the goals as he said.

Also I agree on the wingers part. Rosenior for all his merits is prioritising defensive stability above all which I dont blame him given our tendency to give up some soft goals. But Swansea were not great first half and we couldn't really exploit the space they were leaving

You also asked if Swansea are better at it then us? Just look at where we are compared to Swansea in the league should give you a clue.
So the ability to successfully beat a press is the ONLY factor that determines where you end up in the league. That's a pretty thin coaching manual.
