It was ranked 52nd before the window. They’ve added quality but not depth. Probably about 45th now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know money is a huge draw for people but a lot of these players will already be incredibly rich Mate did some research and Kante made around 15m a year in Chelsea minus taxes and his net worth is probably somewhere around 30m. He'll make 100m a year in Saudi tax free. The money is just staggering, I would be moving there instantly if I was +30 player with a big name tbh.

And just how full of shit people are when they say they wouldn't do it. It's not like there's a few million difference, the amounts they're being offered is astronomically life changing and would ensure their families stay rich for generations.

Jaqen Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 2 hours ago, gbandit said: For sure it’s life changing money for some but I’m sure there’ll be players who go there just to get richer with nothing to actually spend it on I think Kante drives a £10k car or something and Sadio Mane uses an iPhone with a smashed screen as he says it's a waste of money buying a new one. I think for a lot of the African/Muslim players they are targeting it's not about having more money to blow on things for themselves but more what they could do with it for others. I think it is a bit sad to see players playing in a league way below their standard purely for money but at the same time we've just went and took one of the best players in the league from Milan to play for us because of Saudi money too. I know it not the same thing but most European sides now are just feeder clubs for the premier League or Barca/Bayern/Real/PSG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a huge fee, people are wondering if he’s really that level. I mean we’re now talking better than Bellingham with that fee. Haha it wasn’t a personal dig like I just think it’s funny that people hate on Rice so much. The fee is too much like but age + English tax + Prem Ready means he can slot straight in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
