When you have more money than you can spend in a life, quality of life should be the focus. Just wish it wasn't handicapping Barca.
These famous people don't think that way - they see a bigger bank balance as being a superior person. No amount is ever enough.

Me and you think that way but they don't.

Not all of them, majority of top footballers don't actually. Every top player would be playing in SA if that was true.
I am not saying it's all or nothing. Just because they're not playing in Saudi Arabia doesn't mean they don't want as much money as they can get. They still wanna play at the top of the game but they'll do anything to get more money. And the majority of them would go there when their career is finished to make as much money as they can.

They want as much money as they can get, but while in their prime their career matters to them too. But a lot of them would rather take a higher wage in Europe at a lesser team in Europe. See the mercenaries who go to the finished club Man United, like Yoro (should be at miles better team at Real Madrid but United offered much higher transfer fee and wages), Mbeumo, Cunha and many others from the past.

Furthermore, I am more talking about the elite of the elite within fields. Not your usual guy at Fulham who is an elite player relative to most pros but not right at the elite within the elite ie a world-class player or CL winner.

I would be happy if I didn't know there are 2 possibilities concerning his replacement
1) We don't sign anyone and Ferran is our striker
2) They spend the summer chasing someone we can't afford and then panic in last days of the window and sign some idiot probably pay him 10x the actual value

You can't afford Haaland or Alvarez currently.

It'll be Ferran and that "new Eto'o" dude. Or you'll get someone like Vlahovic or Guirassy. Flick is a big fan of Guirassy.

Vlahovic no chance. Imagine a guy of his technical level playing for Barça.

Etta looks a good player but too risky to go with him and Ferran for a season. If he doesn't adapt immediately, which is likely, Ferran will be our only reliable option on striker

We need someone proven who we know will fit right in

Marmoush actually just came to my mind and I posted it in his thread. I was wondering why Pep is not playing him and what even happened to that guy. In his Frankfurt days he was great and I honestly regretted not signing him. City probably wouldn't be too hard on selling a striker when they have Haaland and Marmoush would definitely like to come.

Vlahovic is a free agent.

Guirassy is a very possible option too.

Marmoush isn't a striker. He's a second striker/CF who pairs up with another striker. Flick can't play a false 9 system to save his life. Marmoush would be a disaster in this system.

Flick likes a traditional targetman like Lewandowski. Flick will definitely push for Guirassy or Vlahovic who are traditional 9's.
