To be fair. He's got a good agent.
KDB will be asking for 350k by the time his next contract review comes around, and long may it continue.
Hopefully the Arab Well of money, will run dry sometime soon.
They're a state. A rich state. The money isn't running out, alas. FFP would be the only thing preventing them from having a full squad on 300 grand plus contracts.
So you know a lot about the UAE then Doc?
Please, enlighten me if I'm missing something (via my wiki knowledge), but the family has a personal fortune at around a trillion, but more than this, they control a state with the seventh highest oil and gas reserves in the world. They're loaded in a way that is incomprehensible. They make Roman look like a pauper.
This, from the BBC gossip column, made me chuckle a bit :
Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli, 22, says "it's not all about winning trophies for me yet at my age" having signed a new six-year deal with Spurs earlier this week. (Telegraph)

But their military is ranked a lowly 65th https://www.globalfirepower.com/countries-listing.asp. Ten years from now, when all the millennials are driving electric cars, the baby boomers are retired and not driving at all, and your only customer for oil is China and India who have the 3rd and 4th ranked military in the world, I don't think those two countries will react the same polite way the US did during the previous oil crises. They'll just roll into the UAE, beat the shit out of the family, and then take the oil they need. Hopefully they recruit Sterling into doing compulsory military service during those times.
Where will the electricity come from?
Behave. Keep me disconnected to that discrace of a "club"
It's a funny place. I've been twice. All the police cars are Lamborghini's and Ferrari's and they like to chop peoples heads off for sleeping wth their neighbour - Talk about juxtaposition!
Yep that’s exactly what it is like, you’ve obviously never been here.
To sum it up, the UAE is broke, they rely heavily on investment from China and India. In the 2009 recession the country was hit hard and has NOT recovered. Dubai is an endless pit of abandoned construction sites and Abu Dhabi isn’t far off. The 2 big families are minted yes, but the economy is a mess. People are leaving by the bus load, taxes, fees and straight up corruption is just the beginning. The people that built this country are being forced out and replaced by Indians etc that don’t put back into the economy.. It’s just lies after lies after lies.
Fair enough, no offense taken. I am actually one of the many getting out of here. Just sold my small company that I had set up in a Freezone, decided to sell it back in May, still here trying to get out. The place is a fucking scam.
And, the police have never driven around in Lambos or Ferraris, if they have it was some show that may have been on.
I'm here to help
Yup the US have never done anything similar to that. they normally just ask really politely for some oil.. like Oliver Twist begging for some more.
