7. lol, they are NOT stakeholders, the Saudis are snapping up players from many clubs and the transfer

fees they are paying us are certainly not huge at all, nothing like what the Chinese were paying years ago before they internally clamped down.

The only 2 players we have sold to the Saudis (I will say so far, as hopefully they take the poison that is Lukaku off our hands, who is arguably the worst transfer in EPL history, a massive mistake by the old Roman regime that I TRULY lost my shit over) who was purchased by Boehly and Co are Koulibaly and Auba. Last summer we paid (stupidly, I had a right proper fit, not on the fee, but in terms as footballing play, I thought he was rinsed, and his style of play was a bad match for the EPL). We paid £33.5m or so for a transfer fee, and the Saudis are buying him for around £20m. We paid 10m quid for Aubameyang, and he is being sold for around £5m. Hardly some massive pile of monies involved there.


you also conveniently left out the next 2 paragraphs, especially the first one



(to address the 2nd paragraph, perception is spin, especially as it is coming from rivals like the bloviating partisan Gary Neville from Man U, who also tossed the toys from the pram last year at our signing players to long term contracts to lower the year over year FFP impact via amortisation)
