Im glad the club think of this. I was thinking with all the money players at this level earn why not a Taxi regardless of the distance. Without doubt a legend of a great player. Never has a bad game at worst he is average.
I hope they stay at the Jeremiah Beach hotel, just next to the Burj al Arab.... fantastic place, has it's own water park, fancy upmarket bungalows.... everything a wealthy footy player could want..... even Thatchers Gold on tap at £14 a pint..... I can't afford a second visit.
For 3 million! Recruitment team doing something right...
Think it also helps that he feels very much “ours” - signed for a very modest fee from a traditionally second tier German club, with not much known about him on these shores.
Never ceases to amaze me where people get this type of info.
Ask the man himself lol ?
The players probably will be hoping they stay at the new Atlantis or the Burj itself! Not some second division hotel
100% this. I know all the old boys get misty eyed at Lawrenson, Horton and Ward but he's better than all of them IMO. It's weird to think that in 30 years or so when my son's an old fart he'll probably be exactly the same over Gross and Dunk, even if we're winning World Super Leagues or whatever by then.
He has an unwavering desire to win too, which is evident from the way he often marches straight off the pitch with a face like thunder at the end of a game we haven't won, but probably should have.
Tbf he sometimes looks like that even when we’ve scored! He IS the best now I think
Speaking as one of those 'old boys' all I can say is ........ yes, totally agree. Of the three you mentioned only Lawrenson comes close. (Although the memories of their exploits did help keep me sane during our Dark Ages).
The much maligned Hughton transfer era too
agreed!
Is that neat the Jumeirah Beach Hotel ?
