There are enough decent players at each of the top Saudi teams now to make it a very decent competition. And if you're being paid wages multiple times mors than you could make elsewhere it seems a sensible decision to me.

He has the benefit of being a bit younger than others going so he might have football in Europe afterwards too.

I'd still love for us to be stuck with him. Brilliant option to cover for injuries.
 
Rather Saudi than to one of our rivals. It beggars belief that clubs in Europe don't value Laporte, Cancelo or Bernie that highly, but yet are willing to pay way more for players nowhere near their playing level.

It's like there's a conspiracy against buying from City.
Our players are on good money and we, rightly, want decent fees at a time when there isn't much money in the game, for many clubs.
 
So how long before a player does something or says something against Saudi policy? How long before a player pisses the wrong person off over there? It’ll happen at some point, so will we see a mass exodus when it does?
They are all going now for the money with the promise of the world, but something will snap at some point be it them or a player…. Then what? I’ve no issue with players moving over there and with that video yesterday of Fabinho being given a Rolex by a fan, yes a fan, for playing well, then I can understand the attraction.
Money talks, it’s not about if a players better than a league when if they continue signing these players the league quality will improve. Wait until they start triggering release clauses for big names!

There quite obviously is, for us when buying too.
 
In his football it's not like he's in his last days is it yea money will be great but money ain't everything so they say
its what less affluent people say, I’m yet to hear a wealthy person say “money isn’t everything”. It’s something that’s said to make us feel better, but let’s not kid ourselves in that we wouldn’t all jump ship for a huge tax free sum.
My wife was offered a job in Panama, we said no. In hindsight we should have moved as would have been set for life. There’s a prospect we could be offered Dubai or Singapore next and I tell you what, I’ll be off like a shot if she does. I’ll miss family and friends but the money and lifestyle she’d get offered would be daft to turn down.
Money indeed may not be everything, but money can buy you the things you need to have everything! It can also sett your kids up for life, your grandkids and so on.
