Fabinho transfer currently held up because his dogs aren't allowed in Saudi.

Are they gay dogs?
Jewish.
Wilfried Zaha going to Galatasaray seems like a waste. If a Big Club doesn't want him, why not just stay where you are? Is the prospect of Champions' League Football really that attractive if it's for a Turkish team in the - at best - group stages?
Palace offered him 200k a week as well
Would you want to play under Woy?
I'm a twit
Weird that he didn't go to Saudi and get eleventy billion dollars to beat some goat herders + Hendo
PSG are a clown show. They went through this in 2022. He signed a two year deal with an option of a third. They should have known he is looking to leave for free in 2024. Mbappe got them on puppet strings.Originally Posted by Gray Fox
Indeed. Surely the three considerations you have as a footballer looking to move are... prestige, money and where will I/the family/my bishes be living? With that in mind, how the hell has he ended up in Turkey on less money than he'd have got staying where he was or moving to Saudi Arabia?
Apparently his wage demands were too much for Saudi so fuck knows what he was chancing his luck with
Don't knock Turkish football, the culture and atmospheres there would be something special to be a part of and Gala are doing something akin to their glory days with Icardi and Zaniolo. And the man has just got married, you can't blame him for leaving fucking Croydon for arguably one of the best cities in the world.
Maybe he's gone for the premium teeth service.
Being a big star for one of the big Turkish clubs is probably a great life. Wall to wall adulation just for being you, a pretty tepid league to negotiate, good weather, it's all there.
Saudi would be far more miserable off the pitch.
But thoughts and prayers still cause I'm not sure Greggs or sheperd's pie down at the Bull and Butcher is that accessible and there's probably even more muzzies over there than London
Clearly none of the teams from the major leagues came in for Skeletor.
Levy has been told by Joe Lewis that he's got sell Kane if he won't sign a new contract.
Sits on his boat saying nothing for twenty years, and then suddenly gets all Hyman Roth at the thought of a few pennies going out the door. That said, doesn't this just put the ball firmly in Kane's court, since he can just say lol no thanks and then they have to accept the first reasonable offer?
Swap him for Liverpool's number nine.

Saudi club have offered €300m for Mbappe.
From less reliable sources, they've offered him €700m wages on a one year contract after which he can go to Madrid.
What kind of wages was Zaha demanding if PIF think a €1bn investment in Mbappe for 12 months is value for money, but Zaha wasn't?
I guess it's the optics in Mbappe's case. Nobody would care if Zaha went to Saudi Arabia really in the grand scheme of things.
Yeah if Mbappe goes then it can no longer be dismissed as a dumping ground for the old, infirm and useless.
Every cunts gonna be doing a Saudi save on FM next year
Editing their transfer budgets to 0 sounds better to me.
If/when the PIF buy the whole league, that's when the whole thing is fucked. It's only four clubs at the moment isn't it? And they're running out of foreigner slots.
Barca trying to get involved by offering PSG a load of their deadwood instead of a fee is lol.
It's definitely the PIF quartet who have been doing the spending so far, but there are at least 15 foreigner spots left on those teams still (assuming they can get rid of the likes of Alioski and random Brazilians who currently occupy them).
Presumably the league could just add more foreigner spots - they aren't gonna say no to PIF.
8 per team is quite a lot, if one assumes that the players involved want to actually play football.
I doubt they do.
If they could get the wages without even being in the country they'd probably prefer it. Just CGI them into some promotional material.
Young James McConnell looked good for us today as we shipped 4 goals the 2.Bundesliga farmers Greuther Furth. Quansah good again, and Nunez looked a bit sharper.
Doak looking sharp @Waffdon
Assuming we get assorted goat herders in the Europa groups I don't see why he couldn't get some valuable minutes.
Well hello...

EDIT: I'm massively late to the party on this one, aren't I?
Anything other than a world record bid for the lad, is a bargain.
When you think of it as 3 Antony's, it's a bargain.
Sounds like PSG have accepted the offer. Just up to Mbappe if he wants to be paid a fortune to waste a year.
Is it even that big of a deal? It's not like they're signing Rashford.
He's a complete clown if he makes the move.
Would he?
He'd essentially make himself a billionaire for a 1 year holiday, when he's apparently willing to sit on the bench in protest anyway.
I suspect anyone saying he'd be mad to go simply doesn't understand how much a billion is.
Is the quality liable to be that much shitter than what he plays week-to-week? A year there to keep his fitness up for the international team, break the bank, and then move to Madrid. The issue is whether it's worth it for the Saudis to be used in such a blatant manner, since they would at least like people to think he's coming for some sort of sporting reasons if they are shelling out that sort of money.
I hope he goes. Such a spectacle. We got to watch the two GOATs have their careers somehow synchronised in our lifetimes and, just as they're fizzling out, the next big thing is going to the desert for unthinkable piles of cash. Football!

His partner is trans though no? I could see that being the only potential deal-breaker here.
They'll all live in secure compounds and be allowed to do whatever/shit on whoever they want.
My prediction is he wants to shit on PSG. He probably does not want PSG to pocket £300m from Saudi and he will stay, spend a year as Bogarde and leave for free in 2024.
West Ham bid in the region of £40m for Gallagher. Gonna presume Chelsea are just gonna give in with Brighton and pay what they want for Caicedo as that would leave Fernandez as the only senior CM lol.
Caicedo/Fernandez with Santos and Chukwuemeka as back up is fine but probably a little bit short. Could do with someone more experience offering depth but not a huge concern with no Europe.
£160m for Havertz/Mount/Gallagher is mental

That quartet have a combined age of about 29. We appear to be building some kind of double A baseball team. The Cobham Cougars.
Sounds like Chelsea need Thiago.
I'm a twit
Gallagher should do well at West Ham. £60m profit on swapping Rice out for him is superb business. Still some leftover for Divock too
