      I am your sister from Yemen, and by God I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By God Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By God Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By God, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 4 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God on the Book of God that I will not lie to you, nor deceive, nor deceive. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from Taiz. My family and I, Ait Al-Shahrb, have 20,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw…The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967772168484 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well.`/–~~« ««~~♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡~♡~♡~~♡~♡~♕~♡~♡♡♡~~~~: ~: ~! ~! ~! ~;g.g.g.g.g.g.g.g.🎉.🎉.🎉.🎉..🎉ا.ا.ا.ا.ا.ة..ة.ا.ا.ا.ا.ا.ا.

      Leeds who go relegated didn't want him after loan and Juve were actively trying to move him on after he made disparaging comments about the team. He is repaying them for finally coming good but he is a player who probably maxed out his ceiling. He is not starting material at Juventus, only now because the team has major issues. He should think twice before trying to leverage Juventus because his next move might not go so well. He's not the type of player to command $5million per.

      His first three years were holidays in Turin while still getting 3.5M a year. He did well this year, but he isn't underpayed. I'm sure if Juve gets an offer, they sell him. He is also not hard to replace for them

      Please stop the nonsense. Players coming to MLS did not cause the failure in 2018 World Cup Qualifying. . Jermain Jones. Clint Dempsey. Tim Howard. Michael Bradley. They got old. It was as simply as that. As for McKennie, if he wants to play i MLS it won't be a big deal. Plenty of players on better national teams play in MLS.

      Hes had a solid season at Juve. At Leeds, he wasnt in best physical form but also had three different coaches in one season, and was played out of position. Hope he stays in Europe with a club that utilizes him properly and expects him to perform. MLS or Saudi at this time doesnt make sense if hes trying to achieve success on the pitch at a high level.
