Build up play was nice.

Lovely goal

Haven’t watched Wales since Euro 2016, still thought they were a good team until I watched this. Same players but just a lot older.

Works for all sporting events I guess.

Wasn’t there a PL transfer a few years back where a bid was made for a player (can’t recall who) but the player wasn’t released as the clause allowed negotiations if the sum was met but not immediate release?

A loan fee possibly but if he does poorly then PSG send him back as no obligation. Who else will offer what we did then? He either rebuilds his career or fades away. Deal was a big risk for Reims and the player.

No obligation which was the surprising bit as his parent club were OK with that compared to the cash offer we made. Apparently keeping the player happy was the motivation, lose lose scenario for them though.

Will Qatar give a shit about football after the World Cup? PSG purchase was a favour to Platini in return for world cup if I recall?

Looked like he was going for a wild from behind tackle towards the end but looked like he pulled out of it.

Are they obliged to match PIF? Didn’t they say their shareholding will eventually be diluted and taken by PIF.

Agree it will be one of the losing Chelsea bidders. If an Arab state (not many rich non football club owning one’s about) where in the market how comes none bid for Chelsea who as a proposition for an Arab owner are better in my view (fashionable London location, more recent success) and had to be sold to the highest credible bidder.

Did people seriously think he’d get a World Cup call up without ever representing Brazil before?

Dubai is the junior emirate compared to Abu Dhabi (AD). When the 2008 financial crises hit they went to AD for a bail out as they have the oil wealth v Dubais property/tourism/services economy. They renamed the Burj Dubai to Burj Khalifa in honour of AD’ s emir before it opened as part of the bail out thank you. I doubt they’d buy Liverpool to challenge AD’s Man City.

Happy for him, good goal.

Some wayward passes today, not his usual high standard.

Fuck woods

Nothing like stuffing these twats. Fuck them. I was stupid enough to click on the link to that Villa forum above. We’re sore for holding on to the ‘sob on the Tyne’ banner 10 years later but they’ve got a thread called ‘Let’s laugh at Newcastle (again).

No way would I want him here loan or otherwise, he missed the boat and we’ve moved on to better (Isak).

Don’t know why the club don’t just post it without the ability to comment? If you want to bitch about it do it elsewhere and not on the clubs timeline.

Good appointment, hope he does shit.

What they don’t understand is with Saudi Arabia’ climate they’re well placed to use massive solar arrays to produce green hydrogen and export it to counties that don’t have the climate or the money to create the necessary infrastructure . Plus they’ve got PIF and it’s investments to fall back on when the oil runs out in 50 years or so.
