Don't want to derail the thread but that Alex Karp is a very evil man, the worst of humanity and he has all the keys.
Aye there be a paragraph about how much we wanted him and begged him to come then 67 paragraphs about the “incredible saudi sports project” with the player accepting immediately when he heard there was concrete interest
Graduates aren’t as thirsty but have social needs. Here comes the drought. Any cost savings are just bigger profits for those who won’t share wealth.
the cuts are at all levels as well mind. I’ve lost a lot of colleagues at all seniorities. Grads just make better news stories due to the volume
All these companies who go heavily into AI will perhaps see a bit of a bubble before one of these LLMs makes some **** up that actually ends up being consequential. We’ll have gone Full Dune by the 2040s
This is actually what made me remember he tweeted about Bulka
I wonder if Keith makes similar excuses and is this sympathetic to us if Bulka does chose Saudi
Just asked ChatGPT who we should sign if Bulka chooses Saudi
If Marcin Bulka heads to Saudi, Sunderland will need a reliable goalkeeper—either on a budget or with some higher-end pedigree. Here’s a breakdown of strong options:
Free‑agent / Budget options
- Angus Gunn (Norwich) – A 29‑year‑old Scotland international, out of contract this summer. He’s a good Championship-level keeper with Premier League experience and could be signed without a transfer fee .
- Finn Dahmen (Augsburg) – Solid Bundesliga performer (11 clean sheets last season). More ambitious and would likely cost a fee given he’s contracted until 2027 .
- Asmir Begović – Veteran free agent (37) last with Everton. Depth option or mentor figure, but unlikely to command the No. 1 role long term .
- Fraser Forster / Łukasz Fabiański – Experienced Premier League keepers available on free transfers, though both are 37/40 and nearing the end of their careers .
Proven names / higher‑level targets
- Emiliano Martínez (Aston Villa) – A top-level stopper, reportedly available amid contract pressures. Big upgrade but likely expensive and challenging to attract ().
- Djorde Petrovic (Chelsea/Strasbourg) – Highly rated on loan in Ligue 1. Could be attainable via loan or sale if Sunderland take a gamble ().
Feck me. And AI is going to rule the world!
Is that Thiel? Proper Machiavellian villain him.
Unfortunately I think he’s going to take the Saudi blood money.
If he does, he would rather have the Saudi coin than play in a competitive league and play for Poland in a World Cup.
Saudi have ruined football once and for all.
I see Jhon Duran wants away already.. who’s going to match the ridiculous wages he’s been offered over there? Truth be told, I hate absolutely everything they stand for over there they’re horrible but if someone said to me work in Saudi for 2 years for 4x your salary I’d probably be off because it would give me financial freedom for the rest of my life.
But if I was a footballer doing what I loved and I backed myself, there’s not a chance I’d be going to Saudi and Duran’s age. He’s set his development back years playing there when he could’ve went to Chelsea and picked up £150k a week no problem.
