Exactly my point. It's like Scotland.
As I said above, each to their own and perhaps he has compelling personal reasons for wanting to move. Personally, it's a step down for me, but there you go.
It's not your point at all. Bundesliga is a big enough league where winning it still matters.
It was my point. You might just disagree.
City have won the last 4 out of 5 leagues and will be heavy favourites next year. He has no guarantees of a league title in England but does in Germany, which is still a big league. At the end of your career, do you want medals and trophies or do you just want to be known for keeping the league competitive but you still ultimately lost to the better team? He's won everything there is to win at pool, now he wants to improve his haul fair enough.
Mane was signed in 2016 and Chamberlain in 2017. In 2016 we had no CL football (or European football of any kind) whereas in 2017 we'd played an entire CL campaign which seems to bring a massive cash payout even if you lose the final. It's likely that we were able to pay slightly higher wages in 2017 than we were in 2016.
We'd have given him 3 raises by now.
That’s why he’s leaving not the trophies thing. I don’t think trophies are as important to players as been respected by their club.
Why do you think Kane desperately wanted to jump on the City predictable league title and not wait for the legendary Spurs league title
Didn't Mane arrive before Salah? I believe Salah got a pay rise or am I wrong?
Salah signed a new contract after he had scored 44 goals in his first season.
Mane also signed new contract in 2018, Guardian reported wages as150k. Tbh all these reports are nonsense, they are just picking numbers from spotrac who are just guess work merchants.
On top of that, our wage structure is highly incentive based, which skews a lot. Our base wages are much lower than our rivals, but our overall salary budget is about par with them.
But surely a pay increase for him is long overdue if he’s that far down the list of the club’s highest earners. As a such a key player, a salary increase should’ve probably been a top priority.
Personally, I'd want to have played in the best league, and therefore at the highest level of competition for as long as I possibly could, rather than look at a medal or two in a box I won playing for a side who have zero close rivals, while watching my old side still challenge for PL titles. I'd personally want to be at the sharp end of the biggest games in the best league, and if I didn't win, well at least I was there, in the mix.
Tell me - do you think Kane would have left Spurs for Bayern to win a few easy league titles? Of course he wouldn't.
That’s a delusional take. You genuinely believe that Kane, who has 0 major trophies to his name would turn down the opportunity to go to a winning club like Bayern just to remain at Spurs because they play in “the competitive premier league”?
Yeah Kane's overblown "loyalty" to Spurs always had more to do with the absurd price tags Levy put on him over the years as opposed to his refusal to go anywhere else. If some top club blew Spurs out of the water with a 250m offer he would have left years ago.
Yes, I do.
Started to sag? He's been your best player in the second half of the season from what I've seen.
This!
Bayern screwed up against Villareal. Had they not done so it would have provided Liverpool with one top class opponent in the knock-out rounds rather than none. Something they share as being among the best sides around is no interest in players as limited as Bruno.
That's just the mind blowing good bye sex.
Mods, this is the first time ever in my 20 years here, and a bit ironic I know. But I want to report this poster for serious and unnecessary WUMIng.
