I even see Sadio Mane's name there...the guy has large charitable efforts in progress, and has put a large number of people on an allowance. No surprise he moved with the money.

The biggest surprise moves for me:

Karim Benzema... Honestly thought he would head to England like Casemiro did.

Riyad Mahrez... Such quality could have been scooped up by Elite teams in Italy or France. I guess money is all he is thinking about now.

Na victor grin.

A move that didn't materialize,it would have been a game changer in his life,just my opinion shaa.

We move.

So you are one the Nigerians Advising Victor Osihmen to leave Europe and go to Saudi Arabia league? πŸ˜πŸ˜•

This is What KILLED JAYJAY OKOCHA CAREER. embarassed undecided

In the Mid 1990's, If he had Stayed in Germany and doing those Dribbles,
Bayern Munich or Dortmund would have Signed him and he would have the Bundesliga, UCL, African Best and even World Best. smiley

But in 1997 or 1998, he Followed MONEY and went to Fernabache in Turkish where Nobody could see his Talent! sad

Then went to then Unknown PSG and then Bolton, when he was already Old!πŸ™

If Osihmen is Wise, he should move to Arsenal next year.
Fight to Win an EPL and UEFA champions league like Haaland.
And possibly win World Best Ballon'd.😊

If he Follows the Advice of Peeps like you, he will Regret like Okocha! πŸ˜•πŸ˜’

Neymar hoped to reunite with Messi someday in Barcelona... Messi's move away from Europe crushed him.

The guy is practically done with Football as it stands.

Na to seriously hammer and flex into retirement now.

For Older and Established players like Ronaldo and Benzema, CORRECT! smiley

For YOUNGER players Like Allain St Maximin, NO! undecided

As a Player When you Retire, you want to look Back on your Career and smile @the Trophies won and Impact you made in the Game.😊

This is the Mistake JayJay Okocha and Odion Ighalo made.
They Put MONEY ahead of Trophies/Personal Accolades and Regretted it.πŸ˜’

I Just Hope Victor Osihmen does not Make same Terrible Mistake!πŸ€¨πŸ™

In fact, d most surprising and shocking one was Tapnaldo. He was rejected by European top clubs. but I even thought he would squeeze in a decent European club but NO.


As for others, none were surprising. They went for money and retirement plans.

All these one you are saying is story for the gods. Most Players play for the money, it's not trophies that will sustain them after retirement. My own take is that they should use the money wisely. Those who play for passion can keep on playing in Europe. It's their personal choice/life not ours to decide.

Even those that play in Europe play for money

The reason why a player will snub Fulham and say yes to Manchester united

Is because Fulham will offer 40k
United will offer 250k

What about neymar?


I thought after Messi and Ronaldo
Neymar was the 3rd best player of this currently generation

Why is nobody attacking him as Dive-nay-mar

See all humans are the same when it comes to what drives you to work for another Club or organisation
