Thing is many of us likely wouldn’t have seen the things he has. He said it in his comments, he needs to set his family up. Fair play to him for that. Different than if Ben Chilwell came out and said it. Same goal, different beginnings entirely. 2
Steve Earle Posted 4 August 2021 Posted 4 August 2021 If the move to Saudi is true, that leaves Berardi Madueke & Neres as possibilities, assuming we on here have any idea whatsoever!  Much as Pereira is/was the safe option, the other three are way more exciting. Noni in particular fits the Leicester ‘profile’.  Fingers crossed it’s one of them anyway

You’d turn down six million a season for little strenuous work and to be a superstar? He’s going to be one incredibly rich retired footballer. I’m not saudi’s number one fan but I imagine most, including myself, could justify it to themselves. 1
hackneyfox Posted 4 August 2021 Posted 4 August 2021 Is £6m a season that much more than we would offer where he would have a higher profile for the future?

Grebfromgrebland Posted 4 August 2021 Posted 4 August 2021 Only one option left for me and it's the best one anyway. Let's go shopping in Holland!
turlo Posted 4 August 2021 Posted 4 August 2021 Fab just said nothing advanced with West Ham, no follow up from Leeds and didn't even mention Leicester. Opportunity missed for English clubsÂ
UHDrive Posted 4 August 2021 Posted 4 August 2021 I'd have to question his motivation to reach the top of his game with a move like this at his age. He's clearly money focused it seems. 4
Old Fox Posted 4 August 2021 Posted 4 August 2021 Dodged a bullet If we were ever interested  Does not fit the profile of player we would sign ! 1 1

sheffield_fox Posted 4 August 2021 Posted 4 August 2021 If that's his attitude then he was never a good option in the first place.  I hate seeing a waste of talent.Â

It appears to be a massive offer from Al Hilal, if no one is really interested in you, there may not be a reason to stick around.

jayfox26 Posted 5 August 2021 Posted 5 August 2021 How ambitious of him to join such a huge club like Al Hilal. Really strange move proving he must clearly only be driven by money. A 25 year old hitting their prime does not go playing in the retirement league. Really strange 1 1
