Also can't say I'm surprised it sounds like Mbappe is gonna stay at PSG and maybe even sign a new deal. Awesome player, but what a drama queen.

Meh...31 and essentially nobody wants/can afford him.

That Messi deal to MLS is insane, but if you're a footballer looking for a payday its hard to beat the Saudis.

The problem really, is that if the Saudis keep poaching all these pros they're going to actually turn it into a tough league rather than the Retirement League! Haha!

The only thing I'll give Mbappe credit for is that he hasnt become a slave to his Qatari masters. If he wants to grind and grift for every demand on his contract....considering the way the Qataris treat people? Good on him. Take 'em for everything.

Get Qatari money to play in Paris.

Buh-bye Neymar!

The craziest part of Neymar's deal is he apparently gets €500,000 for every pro-Saudi social media post. I assume there's a daily cap, cause if not I'd be posting "Saudis = GOATS" 10,000 times a day.

Where the hell were you like 20 minutes ago?

I was searching Sportsnet and Fubo and eventually finally found it on DAZN!

Who consequently, also appear to have acquired the rights to the Saudi league?

Neymar could have been one of the GOATs, but he's just a dummy.

Mbappe already has a 1st and 2nd place finish at the WC, but I wonder if he finally heads to a serious club and establishes himself as on of the GOATs. He certainly has the tools.

Goal and an assist for Kane on his debut, he's gonna cook in that league.

Yup...good move for him.

I mean, its Bremen, but I think he's going to do well at Bayern.

he'll get his 1-2 goals/assists every week, but actually win games now and even get to win some actual silverware. It's still Bayern (boo-urns), but I'm kind of happy for him. He deserves this.

Hibs v Aston Villa should be a good game next week in the Europa Conference League qualifying. Another Battle of Britain - I expect Hibs to get well beaten over the 2 legs but you never know……..

* however, just google “hibsed it” and you’ll understand the pattern of previous outcomes.
