Gyan is a ****er first degree, but would love to know the real story, Canna, Benn, Gyan,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,what went down, apart from Brucies offspring? http://www.footballfriendsonline.co...sa-money-for-unwanted-sunderland-striker.html It says a lot about the modern game that a part time rapper is leaving a historic hotbed of football for pastures new in the Middle East; an area that really isnât a historic (or indeed contemporary) hotbed of football. But there we go; such is the modern world in which we live in. Having been on-loan for the majority of the season at the United Arab Emiratesâ Al-Ain, aforementioned part-time rapper but full-time footballer Asamoah Gyan will join the club on a full-time deal from Sunderland this summer, according to the Daily Mail. The Ghanian international has 20 goals in 20 games in all competitions in his stint so far in the UAE which, to be fair, isnât really that impressive a record when you consider the standard of football in the region but there we go. As a result of this form, Al-Ain will complete a permanent deal for the striker this summer with £10m going towards Sunderlandâs direction in recompense in addition to the reported £6m the Wearsiders received for this loan deal this season. Sunderland boss Martin OâNeill has confirmed that the player his not in his plans for the future so a tasty 8-figure fee is a fair trade off all things considered. And itâs not like Gyan doesnât get anything out of the deal either as he has been on a £200,000 a week tax-free wage at Al-Ain this season (four times his Sunderland salary) with no reason to think this arrangement will not continue should a permanent deal be agreed. So happy times all round really; Sunderland get a literal ton of money for a player they no longer need, Gyan gets enough money to roll around in and Al-Ain keep their marquee player.
Cana was ****e BUT he was a good pointer and sulked when Meyler showed him up so I wouldn't include him with the Gyan, Bent situations. IMO the answer is MONEY
Frankly, we could have used Gyan last season, but not if his head wasn't on straight. Take the money and run! Think Gyan must be missing proper footy though. Crowds of 600 make Wigan look like Barcelona.
Headline works in 2 ways - we receive a large sum for a player who doesn't want to play for us He left the club to earn Loadsa money in a country where no-one watches football.. Scored 20 goals in (from the 2 games I saw) a pub league (My mate plays at a level similar to them and their top scorer got 93 last season in 46 games) - I can only comment on what I've watched but the quality is really poor so 20 in 20 isn't really a great record at the level I watched
