    On her own, no, on holiday to UAE with family and friends, 100%. More likely to get shot and bu_mmed in America tbf.

    No sell on value at his age so doesn’t fit the ‘model’ or the ‘sreadsheet’

    The United Arab Emirates is not Saudi Arabia. Would you let your daughter got to Saudi Arabia, with or without friends?

    Been a very good player for a long period of time, even if his legs have gone over the past two or three seasons.

    I put him in the class below someone like Vieira for example, as KDB has a poor record at international level in major tournaments.

    Belgium? Germany? Spain? Somewhere to enjoy football and aid the next generation and not make a decision based on greed?

    The UAE is a very different country to Saudi.

    Not that I think either would be great for a young woman on holiday, mind.

    I think he’s an amazing player & I was in awe watching him live.

    I feel like his record in finals lets him down. I feel like he’s really underperformed in City’s biggest games.

    To watch the boxing or the F1, yes. Just so I'm clear, it's Saudi Arabia that people have issue with, not the entire region, because Saudi's hate on women? I'm genuinely in need of guidance on the morale high ground here cos I thought the issue was oil money. Or is it the death penalty? Or cultural issues with flaunting sexuality in public? Someone write it up for me so I can work it all out. Oh and there's probably 20 other countries that if I had a daughter I wouldn't fancy her going to. Thailand, for example, they're all rapists, aren't they?

    Probably a fair point tbh, counter argued by the point of without his contributions would they have even got to some of those big games?

    You're defending a country and you've done it many times. I have lots of problems with that country. I wouldn't be very pleased if Barnsley were sponsored by what is basically the Saudi Government. If you don't have problems with that country, that's fine, I'm not forcing an opinion on you. I've never had a go at you about it. But I was just wondering what you really thought. If you wouldn't let your daughter go then you clearly have got some reservations about it, but you're happy tell everyone how great Man City are who use the money from a corrupt and exploitative regime to fund their success. I wouldn't find that OK if it was my team.

    Introducing personal politics and morality into football is a road to nowhere, flawed logic and would leave very little whiter than white clubs to support. For the record I hate the American presidency and everything it stands for, its a mostly racist country filled with fat c.n,ts that think they're superior to any other nation, its President is a sexual predator, would you want your daughter anywhere near him? And a Yank part owns Barnsley. Hey ho, I don't like it but I do what most people do, turn a blind eye.

    People hate City because they're successful. The corrupt regime stick is just another one to hit them with. But theyd go on a pro Palestine march when Palestine has the same attitude towards women and a terrible human rights record. Didnt see any 'neutrals' throwing shade on Newcastles League Cup celebrations, but City's success is marred in they eyes on the keyboard politicians.

    I did.

    And the rest of your post is desperate straw clutching nonsense, and frankly borderline racist in saying you object to someone being an owner simply because of their nationality.

    Stopping his daughter from travelling, sounds a bit like Saudi behaviour to me that.

    We clearly don't do this anymore. I wish we did though because it's backfired massively since we stopped it.

    De Bruyne - incredible talent. A joy to watch.

    And a bottle of Lambrini might help, none of that red stuff though lol.
    Don't mention the golden generation of Belgian players to him though, that makes him tetchy. :D
