    PIF investment

    They now have 75 per cent of the top four clubs in Saudi.
    I thought you could not own more than one club in competitions.

    It makes you think,if one of them clubs signs a top player could they loan him to us and pay most of his wages wink wink.

    Any chance Benzema not getting on well with his new teammates?

    would be funny if they bought all the fringe players off us for crazy money lol
    Dummet, Frazer, Lewis, Manquillo, Hayden, Hendrick etc for 30m each

    the greedy cartel would be fuuuuuuuming. It would never happen but it would be funny to see the meltdown

    It would be like a football manager cheat save

    I'm fairly sure they won't try anything like that, it would be foolish to do so really.

    They could, they could also pay PREMIUM prices for any player we sell, and pay them very well to accept the move, and they would still be an upgrade in terms of quality in their teams, and help pave the way for more European footballers joining them teams… I don’t think there is f**k all anyone could do to stop it.

    PIF bought 4 teams, they could buy a couple of players each ;-)

    They could also pay all up front, and fund a couple of transfer windows if we pay in instalments :-)

    Probably unlikely to happen, but it’s a possible way to fund a step change in the quality and depth of squad
