Ex- Villa Players still playing watch

[Smithy]

Played in the winning 2021 Youth Cup squad, and was in that FA Cup team that played Liverpool during Covid. Then went to TNS, scored a load of goals for them. Now doing his bit for the Saudi sportwashing enterprise.

Although I guess if anyone has to take Saudi millions, I'd prefer it be a 21 year old kid setting himself up for life instead of Neymar adding a few more hundred million.

Yep, this feels VERY different, and the sort of transfer an emerging league like Saudi SHOULD be making.  Promising young players from other smaller leagues should be precisely the profile they sign.  It might be that Brad is never going to make it in the English professional leagues, but if he can have a few years over there and make enough that he'll earn the same as he would from a career in League 1 or 2, then I wish him nothing but the best.

Given the level of that league, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that he actually scores a few and sorts himself for life while he's out there.

It should be a step up from Welsh Premier League. I was surprised Young couldn't find a higher level club after he left us because he definitely looked like he should.

Footballer on holiday. Living his best life, I don't see why it should be a problem unless you're a ****** like Joey Barton.

His what now? You mean his only life?

What a bizarre and narrow minded thing to comment on.
It's a well known phrase to explain that he is living the life that makes him happy regardless of what others may think.
You can Google/Bing/Ask Jeeves on computers these days to find out common expressions and colloquialisms used in the English vernacular.

Did Callum get the big move he was hoping for over the summer?

Sheffield Utd

[OCD]

So no then.

[Brend'Watkins]

So no then.

Most likely an improved contract and Sheff Utd would be a step up from Coventry.
