Lukaku a̶n̶d̶ ̶K̶e̶s̶s̶i̶e̶ thread. (24 Viewers)

80m or 480m? I can see the point of wanting the extra 400m, that's a big difference, very few people ever arrive at the point of having "enough money".

What are you going to do with the extra 400M? At some point it just becomes a burden more than anything.

You grew up always having everything you needed and wanted, didn't you?

Me personally I hope I'd have enough sense to not go money grabbing to a country like Saudi Arabia. But I can see the general appeal, 480m vs 80m gives you enough funds to become an owner of a football team yourself or to do whatever else you can't do with 80m

Yes and no. I'd say I grew up having everything I needed. Though my parents are doctors and earned well, very little was spent on luxury.

But at this point we're talking about players who have been very wealthy for over a decade too. And if they could burn 80M, they could burn 480M just as well. The money itself is meaningless when the numbers get that high.

Maybe.

But in all honesty normal people refuse higher paying jobs all the time, because they don't want to do them or want to spend more time with their family. And then we're talking about refusing for example a 120K job and doing a 90K job. At those figures the difference is much more palpable.

This whole idea that everyone would go for the money is wrong. They're just money grabbing cunts.

oh, definitely, no objections to that.

it's understandable though, I'm not that sure either I wouldn't be able to convince myself that there's good reasons for that, just like f.e. Mane probably convinced himself that it's ok to take money from the bad guys if he gives some of it to the poor.

Noooo waaaay! That’s a surprise turn of events!

if it wasn’t because he said it all the freaking time that he didn’t want to come here!!!

Let me guess, he is going to Saudi league for 6 times the salary he has now lol

Al Ahli have just submitted official bid for Franck Kessié! Proposal arrived in Barcelona offices — €15m fee

Understand Kessié has accepted three year deal offered by Al Ahli, up to final details.

Deal very close, advancing also with Barça ready to sell Franck. [Fabrizio Romano]

What a mercenary. Turned down Italy but likes the prospect of Arabia.

Than you Arabs!! Can you pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease take Lukaku next?

 

[Badass J Elkann]

So much for those premiership ambitions. Fuck him anyways if he didn't seem keen on joining us then we've dodged a bullet as far as I'm concerned

 

[DAiDEViL]

Bullet dodged if true.

If it's a choice between playing in Saudi with 4x the wages or playing for Allegro's JJ, it's an easy choice for him.

He's right though imo most people who grew up poor tend to want to overcompensate when they get rich. You growing up with money not being an issue grants you a more balanced look here, the lines between money and happiness don't get blurred for you.

 

[Valerio.]

It would've been a great market if we could've lured SMS and Kessie together with Rabiot.
And it would've been a cheap job at least price wise
but no... this fucking Arabia.

What are you going to do with the extra 400M? At some point it just becomes a burden more than anything.

Because then your social group becomes people of comparable if not greater wealth/access so suddenly you dont feel so rich when you have those lifestyle costs

 

[DanielSz]

why dont they just keep Hans if Kessie isnt coming? Or are they gonna keep McKennie instead?

Yeah, that's a good point.

But someone like Benzema has been rich for 15 years now, wouldn't that change his mindset?

What’s wrong with that? As if playing in Italy is some sort of privilege for him.

 

[Espectro]

BTW... now that Kessie is gone... prepare for the Partey links to return...

 

[DanielSz]

I predict a lot of these dudes that went to Saudi Arabia, specifically the younger ones, are gonna cash in for a year or two and then head back to Europe. No way they're gonna see those contracts through once they realize the money ain't worth playing/living there.

I think the Lukaku deal is also dead. Good
