So no PL club wanted him and he has ended up in Saudi Arabia on 100k/week.Good luck to the lad.He should be financially sound for the rest of his days.I think I would have stopped at Turf Moor on 60k/week.

Two ways to look at this as you allude toOriginally posted by ClaretinBudapest View PostSo no PL club wanted him and he has ended up in Saudi Arabia on 100k/week.Good luck to the lad.He should be financially sound for the rest of his days.I think I would have stopped at Turf Moor on 60k/week.
Financially secure now for the future
But imo wasted the best opportunity to play at the highest level on 65k a week and also potentially become a club legend.
Tbf if hed gone to Leeds for example wed never have forgiven him - for some people 65k a week must not be just quite enough.
Ahh well like I say mistake made for me.

Everyone is different and also free to make their own choices.
Josh has chosen to go to Saudi and can earn a lot of money whilst playing the game he loves and which he has played professionally for 12 years.
During that time he has played 43 games in League One, 231 in the Championship, in which he has gained promotion twice and 111 games in the PL for a club whose fans think that he is not good enough. He has nothing else to prove whatsoever and has made his choice to make money before he is too old.
Sounds a very sensible decision to me and I wish him well and thank him for his contribution to the Clarets over five and a half seasons with 31 league goals and 20 league assists in his 194 appearances.

Completely agree BC.If had signed for Wolves or West Ham he would have been a fringe player with little game time.He now gets to play games and still have the dosh.Like I said, good luck to the lad.Roll on next weekend UTC!Originally posted by ballcock View PostGlad he has gone and good luck to him.
Josh proved over the years that he was never quite good enough for the Premier league
I much prefer our new signings who look more suited at this level and will hopefully prove so
