You sound like one of the “yet you participate in society, curious!” people. He makes 21 million smackeroonis a year. That’s before sponsorship and whatever else the UAE are throwing at him. Surely it gets to the point where it barely makes a difference? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has made a lot of money over the past 15 years. He has been offered more over the next 2 years than he earned in the previous 15. He's not Ghandi or Greta Thunberg, he's a footballer. We all know they get paid more than their worth, but why would be not consider it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With how wealthy he already is extra money will make almost 0 difference to his or his family’s life. I’m not surprised in the slightest that he would consider it. There’s enough evidence from footballers that the majority of them would. I still find it quite sad. Hope that’s alright with you.

Michael W Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 1 hour ago, ford prefect said: Comparing me a working class person on an average wage to someone already a multi millionaire isn't really the same eh? Exactly. Even if you knock two zeros off whatever the UAE/Saudis will offer De Bruyne, you're looking at life changing money for the vast majority of the population. That would be the mortgage paid off, which takes a lot of pressure off. Compare that with an already very rich man who's set up for life as it is and has millions in the bank? It's no comparison at all. He can buy ten houses right now if he wanted to. He is of course entitled to take it if he wants and, yes, he can be criticised for it. "You'd take it as well, hypocrite!' is not some sort of gotcha response here. It's not an equal comparison. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/crggez4w209o Times article reported by the BBC. In a totally expected move Manchester City's mega expensive legal team are taking the offensive. City are also looking for damages because they feel victimised. #TakingThePiss 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De Bruyne came from a Belgian African colonial family (he was eligible to play for Burundi). I'm guessing concerns about exploiting others weren't discussed much around the dinner table growing up.
