Greed is greed.
I would view it entirely differently if he was moving to Real Madrid or Blovdiv Plovdiv for that wage but no, he's tossing aside something he's passionate about for the shiny lucre.
From a footballer's overly simple point of view, the Saudi league is a sort of retirement home - a bit like the league in the U S. Of course, if the top teams buy enough quality players, it'll become more like the French, Spanish or German leagues - competitions dominated by the few teams that have good players in all positions.

It’s mad the club hasn’t announced it…….Farewell videos filmed and the making of it leaked, training with new club leaked….. we’re normally on point with stuff like thisOriginally posted by Shaggy View PostMadness. All very strange for a (successful) Liverpool captain to reach the end like this.

It'll buy him wealth that 5 years ago would've only been available to Messi and Ronaldo. Sportspeople are surrounded their whole career by advisors trying to get the best deal for them, and milking their career for all they can. It's pretty ingrained in to themOriginally posted by Shaggy View PostMadness. All very strange for a (successful) Liverpool captain to reach the end like this.
Good luck to him, I expect he knew he was only appreciated by half the fanbase. Sunderland fan lives next door to me and he's adored by their lot.Last edited by Norbs; 26-07-23, 04:56 PM.

So it's nearly official then. My hot take is i'm glad, he's gone... i take no satisfaction in watching players playing past their peak (for us anyway).
He's had a remarkable career with us, considering he was played out of position many times, always a Gerrard neverman which was super unfair, and resisted being sold to Fulham (who can blame him). Definietly a major part of recent success and when he was on form he was great.
Highlight was probably giving it back to costa

McAteer let slip that they were instructed not to talk about the Saudi deals on LFC TV and on Press Box last week all panel members were basically saying the Saudi league was great and fair play to them.Originally posted by Irishnev View PostIt’s mad the club hasn’t announced it…….Farewell videos filmed and the making of it leaked, training with new club leaked….. we’re normally on point with stuff like this
If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

can’t have been planned otherwise he’d have been part of the full on media coverage received by Milner, Bobby and even Ox to an extent.
