It might be when people can hardly eat but to suggest that all Africans are only interested in maximising their earnings when they have plenty of money already is blatantly wrong. Some African lads will look to maximise their earnings, some will value other things higher, thats the trouble with stereotyping, it isnt accurate.

As for RVP you can hardly compare him to Gyan FFS, you said that anyone would seek to get as much money as possible (even if that means moving to the desert and meaning that they are competing in a shit league), I said that this blatantly isn't the case since very, very few players at their peak give up playing in top leagues and champions leagues etc purely for money. What RVP is doing will no doubt get him more money but equally any fucking idiot can see that Arsenal arent going to be winning titles any time soon so he's hardly going against the good of his footballing career in order to make money, he is making the sensible choice to earn and win more which I am well aware is wide spread in football. So my point (that your "everyone would do it" in relation to Gyan fucking off to the desert comment was a load of bollocks) still stands, RVP has fuck all to do with it.

Go on then, since "everyone would do it" name me some players who are under 30 who have moved to shit hole leagues purely for the masses of cash that comes up with it. They move purely for the money at the latter stages of their career but at their peak players would rather make 100k a week in the prem than 200k a week in the fucking J league or similar

Anybody who has a grudge against Gyan or any other modern day footballer who leaves a club for a much better offer financially is sad as fuck.

The Emirati club have confirmed their capture of Gyan on a reportedly bumper deal to stay at the club where he played on loan last year, with the final fee putting Sunderland of between £1million to £3m short of the record £13m they paid for the Ghanaian hitman in 2010.

But Gyan insists he is a player traded between the two clubs and cannot be held liable for any mishap on the Premier League outfit’s side. “Al Ain came that they like me and Sunderland agreed. I had no option. I don’t have any problem with any Sunderland fan but that is life,” Gyan has said in his defence.

The 26 year old added: “I will like to thank all the fans for their support. They play my music ‘African Girls’ even when I’m not at the stadium, they really love me. I love Sunderland, the fans love me but this is life. Life goes on.”

Asamoah however denies that he has already signed a permanent deal with Al Ain.

“We are still on negotiations but definitely they will like to sign me because I did well. As a striker I had to bang in the goals and I did exactly that for us to win the league. I think I had a perfect season,” Gyan said.Credit:

Wouldn't surprise me if Gyan's actually 35.

Fifa banned Nigeria from all international fixtures for two years after finding that the birth dates of three of their players in the 1988 Olympics were different from ones used by the same players in previous tournaments.

Some people forget that places like Dubai are full of Brits over there for a bigger wage packet.

Anyone willing to claim they'd say no to £140,000 p/week tax free is deluded beyond belief and a liar.

Good luck to him.

If I were on 40 grand a week I would turn down a move to Dubai as it happens. That's because (being on 40 grand a week) I would already be rich; I wouldn't have to worry about ever being in the shitter financially, I'd have a good house, any car I wanted, the best of everything already. I would therefore think about where I lived, the quality of life there... and for that reason I'd rather stay put and turn down Dubai. Not that Sunderland is paradise on earth mind, but I'd take the North East over the Middle East any day of the week.

If those Brits out there could earn the money Gyan was earning in the UK, they'd take the first flight home. Of course Gyan has no loyalty to Sunderland, nor should he if we're honest. The point is that he was already earning a fortune by the standards of us mortals, but it wasn't enough for him.

It's deluded beyond belief to say you'd turn down that kind of money if you're working at McDonalds or whatever. But it's not deluded beyond belief to say you'd turn down that kind of money if you were in Gyan's position at SAFC. Being a PL footballer is the golden ticket- if you offered me the same pay as some knacker at Wigan I'd be doing fucking cartwheels. I wouldn't be thinking, "there's only five bedrooms in this house, I need one with ten". If you think like that, you're a greedy twat, end of.
