Youngster earning £4m a year, so £2m net (?), could have an unreal lifestyle in London.

You don't hear of many players at London clubs being desperate to get away.

While I'd personally prefer to live / play in a warmer climate, I'd choose to live in London over any other major city in the UK if I were in my twenties and earning £millions / year and I hate to say it but Sheffield would be somewhere near the bottom of my list.

Just taking Premier League club's locations, Sheffield would be above Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Nottingham, Burnley, Newcastle and Luton on my list. Not that it matters, because all of those clubs (with the exception of Luton probably) can attract better players than us just because they have a lot more money.

Fair enough WCH - all about opinions. Again, age and disposable income would be factors at footballers' age. Personally, I'd probably choose S/SW Sheffield over most of the cities you list as well, with the exceptions of Newcastle and Nottingham but not if I was 25 and earning £4m/year! :)

I wouldn’t.

As a pro footballer he’s busy most days and is required to travel to training etc. Travel for someone famous in London isn’t easy. Roads too busy to move, and not safe for them on public transport.
Paying a bomb for a small house means you cannot make it secure for yourself and your family as well as you might elsewhere.

Earning millions in London may make it easier to spend, but unless you’re spending it on fine dining there’s nothing in London you cannot get anywhere else.
Even services, if you want a specific company to say do your kitchen, they’d have no issue travelling with the cost covered in their bill.

London would be the last place I’d be living, I’d much prefer to travel there for the odd occasion and live where the air is fresh, the people friendly, and I can go about my business with much less hassle and threat back to my huge house with a decent amount of land to separate me from the media and intruders.

Fair enough GB - it takes all sorts.

Out of interest, are you in your early 20s and on £4m/year?
 
Senegal Vs Ivory Coast on Sky at 8pm today for anyone who is interested. Apologies if already posted, i couldn't be bothered to check.

Ffs the poor little/big bastards 😥
 
Sorry just kidding 😉 would appear ⛔✍️ anywhere for him.

Given he was being looked at by Everton, Forest and palace you'd say that's a positive for us. But in reality it was never happening and we aren't in a position to even say we're in a relegation scrap.
We need to bridge the gap a bit more to say that.

The priorities of an 18-30 with shitloads of cash won’t be fresh air. They’ll want to be where the action is (nightlife, shopping, culture, buzz, etc) which is London. It’s a playground for someone with that level of income.

It's really interesting to see the parallels between Illi and our signings this year. They think he's wank and we thought he was our best player ever. Sometimes the best signings on paper don't work out for whatever reason, doesn't mean that the signings were bad or recruitment was poor. Sometimes it's hard to nail down why but it just doesn't work. That's life.

I just hope our fans don't spend too much time this year souring our relationships with these players because I reckon we could have some cracking players at Championship level if we give them the support they need.

Yep, for the the buying club it’s a gamble. For the selling club you know what you have, in this instance all we know is the sale hasn’t worked out.
 
A move he pushed for.

A move their President was happy to blackmail him into.

A move that hasn’t worked out for either this season.

He could have been Star Man at our place and probably would have helped us get more points and surprised a few teams.

As it is, he’s messed up our season and in doing so messed up his career to a degree as well.

What a waste all-round.
 
Sounds like a similar story to Moises Caicedo, best part of £100m and looks more like a £20m player for Chelsea, yes they are turning into a proper basket case and it’s wonderful to see but the quality dip is night and day, some times it’s the wrong move

Yes spot on ,if he had stopped in sheff I am sure our season would have looked better than it looks now and we would have had a asset worth a lot more than he went for . I am sure he would have lit up the prem with us ,weather he would have stopped with us after this season i don't know . The deal fucked everything up including his career ,our season and the the french club wishing they had not bothered .So no winners but i must admit i feel a bit smug regarding the frenchies when thinking how they went about the deal and how ruthless they were .
 
Another season at Marseilles then our marquee signing when we get promoted again.

Don't @ me.

I dont understand how Caicedo was ever worth 100m after two seasons.
