  1. ASM was undervalued compared to some other deals that were done around the same time for players moving to Saudi clubs though (e.g. Otavio and Malcom both over 50m fees), so the club certainly didn't exactly use a loophole here, and you could in fact argue the opposite, i.e. that they were overly cautious to avoid scrutiny. The fact no other club offered more for ASM is only partly relevant, because no other clubs offered some of the insane fees and wages players went up going for over there, so clearly SA is not your average European league in terms of fees, and also we know that ASM was for years one of the most spectacular wingers in the Premier League, albeit also injury prone. His skill level, age and reputation could have easily commanded a higher fee to a SA club and nobody would have bat an eyelid.
  2. You might wanna see your MD about that mate. He’s not long gone and for years he was pretty much the only good thing we had going.
  3. This is the Elliot Anderson we saw in pre-season and we hoped we were going to get to see this season
