    Didn't the American league have a similar appeal mid 70's?

    Yes as a retirement plan for players at the end of their careers Pele, Best, Rodney Marsh where 3 of many who went to play there I think.

    Although he was injured last season he'll be a big miss for City

    Yep, could have put Whitey's salary to good use.

    They are buying the profile on social media and within the game rather than ability. Clever move until you can establish yourself.

    Good move for him, probably past his peak. Brilliant player.

    Hope he can improve on their results - lost last night to Elche CF 2-0 in a pre-season friendly over here at La Nuñcia. Albeit the team was called Al-Ittihad de Benzema

    I wouldn't blame him, although it's not a done deal I think he's enough credits in the bank for City to allow him to do what he wants. He's the greatest midfield player the Premier League has ever seen, 6 years of medal after medal trophy after trophy, accolade after accolade. Been lucky to watch him play live quite a few times and witnessed a legend.

    Looking forward to seeing Doku on the left and Savio on the right Foden in the 10 and Haaland up front. Kev will still get his statue.

    I would say he’s still far too good for Saudi and City would miss him. He missed a lot of last season through injury but still showed his class when he did play. His vision combined with an end product can’t be matched by many of the recent premier league era.

    I guess if he wants ridiculous money though….

    He's 33 so I imagine hes thinking retirement plus he's the highest paid player in the Premier League so City will be able to do more inbound seems the money on offer is ridiculous. Hes had unlucky injurys in Champions League run ins, that might be the only itch hes got to scratch. His status is cemented in City and Premier League history, good luck to him.

    Anonymous at the last two international tournaments and had a poor season last year. The legs have probably gone.

    Been an incredible player though.

    What a load of crap going on about greed, everyone of us go to work for money. In my lifetime I did why because companies never gave a dam about me so I worked purely for money . I was a mercenary all my life. Good luck to the lad wish I could have earned more.

    That's not really an appropriate comparison - he's already got more money than he will ever come close to needing.

    If you move from a job that pays 30k a year to 45k a year then it's a huge jump - and you're doing it for the money.

    If you're on 350k a week and move to a club for 500k a week, do you really need it that much?

    That's the difference.
