Southampton --- Spurs ( its progression )
Spurs --- Real Madrid ( no-one is turning down being a galáctico )
Real Madrid --- Spurs on Loan ( RM wanted him away, Spurs were the sensible move )
Real Madrid --- LAFC ( it was a sensible low risk move to try and get match fit for the World Cup imho, I know people will say he went for the money, but he didnt need the money and it wasnt that much anyway, reported to be $1,600,000 (£1,413,672), players are on close to that per week in Saudi )
Certainly doesnt look like the career of a mercenary to me
Or he stepped up his career to higher levels before enjoying the easy life?
I agree with you though, fancy making money from his talent and fulfilling boyhood dreams of scoring in Champions League Finals.
He should've remained loyal to Cardiff Civil Service and dribbled around dog shit on Pontcanna fields whilst working in a local Tesco Metro, part time.
Maybe he’ll go down the road that many others have done over the years in their chosen field. Start as a youngster working local, improve in your job, head hunted and move away to make big money. Having made the big money and set yourself up financially for life, see the plan out and move back home, keeping your nearest & dearest happy while still earning a decent wage, not as much as when you worked ‘away’ but more than enough to leave your nest egg untouched...........I’m hoping, aren’t I
You should be an agent (or even a finance director) for Uber Eats Lique 1 club for all these great championship players, when teams like Brest are paying 35k a week you'd think they be hoovering up the talent from the championship! Lyon, Marseille, & Bordeaux are huge money bags clubs always in the Deloitte table.
What's wrong with a worker maximizing their earnings? Isn't it nice to see the money actually going to those who hold the means of production? Working class lads who have worked their bollocks off to become elite athletes and experts in what they do? Bringing joy, Happiness and escapism to millions of people, and the money filtering down to friends, families and communities. I chased money in my job, went to London for three years sadly, no ****er wanted to watch me doing my job, there were plenty who could do it and nobody subscribed to watch me or paid an admission fee. Gutted.
It's a vote for hard work, dedication, world wide appeal, talent, sacrifice, and a market where the work force actually benefits for a change. If we're going to have capitalism with the gloves off, then it's of some comfort that those who can use the tools are rewarded handsomely.
