There’s pretty much a guarantee of a similar wage with Man City if he wants it I’d imagine. Hey it’s his life! I’d love to see a few more top Europeans do what Clarence Seedorf did and give South America a shot, albeit a big reason he did that was having a Brazilian wife. Perhaps I’m just too innately hostile to Saudi Arabia to be objective on tangential topics :p | ||

While City could probably afford it, they maybe don't want to set that precedent, or maybe they just don't think KdB is actually worth N times more than what they're already paying him. | ||

Oh I mean a similar wage packet at City to what they’re currently paying him. Yeah they probably can’t/won’t match the top end of Saudi wages | ||

City also doesnt give older players long contracts IIRC. Didnt they lose quite a few players because they were not willing to give longer contracts? | ||

But a natural replacement for Salah at RW which is a position we're a bit light in (Harvey, Szobo, and Diaz can all put a shift in there but it's not ideal). | ||

there's also the impending 115 cases against city which may expedite his departure (along with others looking to leave) | ||

Who am I kidding? The FA won't have the balls to do what needs to be done. | ||

Argentina vs Morocco, Argentina score a last minute equalizer, then fireworks go off from a protestor/pitch invader near their bench. They think FT happened but apparently officials reviewed the equalizer for offsides, so they had to go back out and play another 3 minutes. Morocco win 2-1. Lol. I'm surprised it got that far without Argentina being booed off the field of play. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. | ||

Argentina channeled their inner Nunez for that entire sequence hitting the woodwork over and over again. Definitely an incredible sequence, only for the actual goal to be called off. | ||

Can't really imagine a more insane ending tbh, seriously.. glad Morocco won in the end. | ||
