’Liv Football’ won’t work like Liv Golf, least not in the UK. Too tribal unlike golf which is individual - even if all the ‘best‘ players sold their souls, football here would survive. Would be some sort of correction in terms of finances over time, but the league structure wouldn’t change. There’s a big distinction between owning a club in England and players actually going to KSA to play
Yes, we know that Roy loves his money and isn't bothered how he gets it (South Africa during apartheid).
Corrected for you
Big surprise there then
Not long. Newcastle will find out their opponents in a few weeks, I think?
How long before they instigate a European Super League by the back door?
I think for £200bn, it's worth considering.
"let's not take the piss here.."
You could look at the various English renderings of it:
That's easy for YOU to say
And replace him with....?
It's £50m for a player with a contract expiring in less than 2 years. Also, really strange comments about prescription medications....
Yeh, we have a number of players coming through who look good in that position. Enciso, Sarmiento, Adringa.
Yeah I don't see the issue, Mitoma is fantastic and direct but he's not world class and £50m+ for a player who is out of contract in two years is a no brainer.
It's all Greek to me.
I sort of take your point. I watched highlights of the two home games against the Manchester clubs last night and they reminded me – United specifically – that he does often have a knack of not being able to score when he's done all the hard work. Plus he does have a knack of going down WAY too easily – and refs very quickly sussed that out last season. That said, I rate him very highly – probably somewhere between your £50m and other people's (slightly OTT, IMO) £100m+.
