At this rate, by January he'll be back at Fulham on loan
Sounds as though it is a joke league akin to just playing monopoly with players instead of property 🙄
First and foremost. Talksport are the ones who claimed Palhinha had a release clause, so if we generally take transfer news with a pinch of salt - anything from Talksports comes with a fistful of it.
But I dont really see the funny side of it. He went there for the money, he is still going to get paid by the saudis, he'll just pull on another teams shirt and thats that. He didnt sign for Al Hilal. He signed for the Saudi government.
He won't give a monkeys about the shirt as he's about the money the readies.
If his legacy was left in a mess already- It really would be in tatters if he ended up at Chelsea. What a farce
The lad will be devastated. All his life he's been a fervent supporter of Al-whatitsname FC.
Wonder what would happen if Lukaku did go there - and they refused to pay metro
I love Metro

A quick visit to the Saudi consulate would soon sort out any such disputes.
I'd be surprised it that's true, they've only just posted photos of him singing and having his first training sessions, including a clip of him chatting away with neymar in a gym of sorts.
As someone commented, they both seemingly have right wing political views, which could explain why Saudi appealed..
I'm taking this story with a pinch of salt..
It would be a lot to suggest or think one club could sign and play neymar, mitro and lukaku at the same time.
One poster did seem to imply that the players contracts are owned by the league or government and so they can be moved around clubs more easily to fit in with the overarching strategic vision.. don't know how true that is, but may make sense.

Thats dark!
Mitro doesn't care about us so why are you bothering about him
Perhaps we could buy him back for £5m.

I'm not.... I'm talking about metro
Who's Mitrovic?
He's literally playing for Al Hilal now so I doubt this happens.
I've honestly no idea how the Metro has lasted 24 years. All ads and puff pieces, given away for free. Madness.
Who cares, he's gone and wanted to go, he made that clear. Fulham and Fulham fans remain, as we always will...
Just scored on his debut hhahah classic
Who is this mitrobitch that people are talking about

Don't know but this thread is about Metrovic.
I had an Austin metro

Just the one. My nan could score against that opposition. Saying that though, fair play to him in that powerhouse Saudi pro league
We are not a metro station

youd like to think he'd still get paid but we're talking saudia here not Europe if they didn't pay him I reckon he'd struggle to make them
