Former [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]Sunderland[/COLOR][/COLOR] striker Asamoah Gyan is blazing a trail which could see other big-name players head for the United Arab Emirates. please log in to view this image That is the view of Al-Ain chief executive Carlo Nohra, whose club last week clinched a permanent move for the 26-year-old Ghana international. "It's definitely a landmark event," he told The National. "Asamoah will be instrumental in attracting other players to the UAE because he has proven that if you are of his calibre, you can come to the Emirates, join a very big club and as a [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]football [COLOR=blue !important]player[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR], be satisfied besides being satisfied as a human being. "It proves that if you are in your prime, you can still come here, make a very good living, enjoy yourself in a beautiful country but, most importantly for a [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]footballer[/COLOR][/COLOR], play football to a very high standard, and it speaks a lot for the club and the values we have. "Hopefully he will be a shining example for other players to consider coming here." Gyan made a shock loan move to the Middle East in September last year after just one season on Wearside following his ?13million-plus move from Rennes. Sunderland had spent the summer insisting he was not for sale amid speculation linking him with several clubs, but eventually took the decision to allow him a temporary move after it became apparent wanted to go. They have since more of less recouped their investment in him in an initial loan fee and a second payment which sealed his switch amid reports that he is being paid as much as ?140,000 a week by his new club. Gyan scored 22 [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]goals[/COLOR][/COLOR] last season as Al-Ain claimed the league title, and his retention was a key part of their plans for the new campaign. http://www.footymad.net/football-news/gyan_could_be_trailblazer_4712715/index.shtml Trail blazer my arse, ****in mercenary disloyal **** is how the headline should read.
Any fat arsed, unambitious lazy footballer can easily roll up, eat lots of big macs, not train and play in front of 200 people every week in this league AND collect £150k per week? I'd be amazed if there are not hundreds of applicants (got my boots out of the shed last week) but there will be not a single one that is either any good or not over 35 imo.
Cest I never was any good at football, no matter how much I love it. What I wouldnt have given, to have the supposed talent that geezer has got. ****in criminal, its been wasted on a twat.
He has always been an odd-ball fellah and this just proves that football is suffering because of the likes of him. He will not be the last unfortunately.
'There be oil in thems there hills' was the shout from the member of the crowd. Test drilling is expected to start soon on Asamoah Gyan's arse
