Neves sold for £47m

Al Hilal…

Thought he was older than 26. Seems odd to spend your best years there right now no matter what the money. No doubt won’t be the last.

Let’s hope he’s a good friend of De Gea…

Any chance these Saudi @#%&!s can buy Maguire, Bailly, Telles, Beek, Sancho

Chelsea are plotting on offloading a load to Saudi by the sounds of it.

Ten times what he was on at wolves according to Talkshite. Given he was their captain he’s looking at the thick end of £1.5m a week in his bin. Menkul.

Wasting his career but getting stupidly rich. Shame on him and good luck to him at the same time.

I thought Barca wanted him?

Wolves would put anyone off football.

Clearly doesn’t want to be a top player, as evidenced by how long he’s spent at Wolves. Waste of talent

Saudis are funding Chelsea that’s why. They have a big stake in Clearwater. They’re buying all Chelsea’s deadwood players this summer now football is £#%&!ing minging.

What a stupid #@&%!. I get the likes of Kante doing it because they’ve nothing to prove. This fella captained Porto at 18 and has since gone to Wolves and now buggers off to the Middle East. What a waste.

I dunno if I’d call him a stupid #@&%!. He’s making millions a month. I’m not saying it’s all about money but for some players it just isn’t about trophies. Could retire before he hits 30 and spend the rest of his days comforting himself sitting on a fat pile and laughing at all of us povvos.

Didn’t Oscar do the same thing? Was playing well for Chelsea then £#%&!ed off to China.

It’s a shame but good luck to the guy.

#@&%! within a footballing, career optimisation sense. Obviously they’re all winning. And he has good hair.

Wonder at which point the Saudis will host a CL Final….

Neves had reportedly agreed personal terms with Barca.

There are probably loads of footballers who hate football and cannot wait to get out.

A saudi move is a springboard to a great rest of your life.

Exhibit A

Can't really knock players winning it who have won everything there is to win like Ronaldo, Benzema etc ..

Bit different with Neves who still has a lot to ahieve. Saying that, if someone offered to set me up for life within three years, and my kid's kids, I wouldn't give a shit about my legacy in the Premier League or La Liga..

As armchair said, a lot of footballers hate playing. Its just all they have known and a way to make a living. As i get older im appreciating that more. Good look to them if someone is stupid enough to pay them between £50-100m per year.

He's not gone there for the love of sand and oil.

true, and i can't blame him entirely. Stay at wolves and enjoy mediocrity or go to saudi and earn enough money to make your entire family rich beyond their dreams.
