Neymar, don't even get me started.

But...

this idea that there's always the offer from Saudi.

He wants to go to Saudi, right?

All right, the exit ramp for Vini in this one.

And then we've got to get back to creating coaches.

But Vini is just such a fascinating story.

We can help him talk about it.

The exit ramp is Brazil and Uncle Carlo win the World Cup.

He's the top goal scorer in the World Cup.

And then he has an exit ramp.

Although, of course, if that happens...

knowing Real Madrid as we do, you know that then they'll just give them a gigantic contract and lock themselves in.

Going back to Arboloa and actually, no, let's stick with the player because Vini is part of this.

This whole narrative, egos, superstars, not wanting Xabi Alonso because he's more of an order guy and blah, blah, blah.

There's that great story from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, so it must be true, that when he went to Barcelona, I think the club insisted at the time that everybody drive modest cars.

And he thought it was stupid.

But the idea was to keep everybody's ego in check, keep everybody down and whatever.

So the easy narrative is, ah, you guys are all overpaid, egomaniac superstars.

And you guys didn't want Xabi Alonso because Xabi Alonso didn't go and like pat you on the head the way Uncle Carlo did.
