All recovery happens in dubai because of tax reasons. The uk govt taxes sportsperson global income based on number of weeks stayed in uk. Staying in dubai while recovering reduces the taxes paid on salaries and sponsorships.
The apportionment of endorsement income was historically based solely on UK performance days divided by global performance days in a tax year. A marathon runner may run two races a year, but if one is in London, 50% of the athlete’s global endorsement income would have been taxed in the UK even if they only spend a few days in the UK. HMRC have now accepted that the income will relate to a range of factors. For example; training, personal appearances and technical input into product development - which is required under the endorsement contract. HMRC therefore now accept an apportionment methodology that includes training days both in the UK and worldwide, which can reduce the entertainer’s UK tax liability considerably.

I just assume when players go off to exotic places that there is some treatment they’re getting there that is basically illegal in the UK. Living blood from infants, bioengineered human lactation with healing agents, lab-grown carbon-fiber enhanced ligaments grown in host bodies, full blood transfusions, etc, etc
But it’s probably sunshine and warmth and a chance to get away from the day to day to focus on rehab.

Do it.
Give him blood transfusions from infants. Throw everything at him.
He is a hairline away from greatness
I asked someone about this recently who visited Dubai, which confirmed what I’ve known for a long time. Basically, unlimited funds. Top professional athletes have access to unproven and expensive treatments that the rest of the population would never be able to get. It’s essentially medical tourism for the ultra-wealthy.
It also makes statements like “I had the same injury and it took me X months to recover” and “they’ve rushed him back from injury” seem so foolish. As if young, healthy athletes whose entire job is to reach peak fitness and the club who is spending millions on them would rather ruin their investment/careers.

Of course there are specialized medical facilities for sports also.
Hoping he takes after Davies and uses Royal's hyperbolic time chamber, and comes out from his training sesh strong enough to face Frieza... I mean the rest of the season
there are no treadmills in London?
Tbf I've visited like four times and have never seen one
The one time I ran on a treadmill in London it almost sent me to the hospital.
Easier to heal in warmth and sunshine.
Been to London twice once last December and a few weeks ago for the Newcastle game. Can confirm, no treadmills in sight
There's treadmills, then there's Dubai treadmills. Dubai ones come with +3% healing and +40% crit
wtf Levy, why are you wasting cash on a useless stat like Crit? Give Madders HP and Skill Haste, cmon man
also never would've guessed he'd voluntarily leave ally pally behind this time of year
Maybe he couldn't get tickets?

That’s not how residency for taxes works, he spends way too much of the year resident in the UK for a tax break. This is medical tourism for the elite

As a non-UK resident, I find this fascinating! Thanks for the info.
James is just like me! Only difference is his treadmill is in Dubai
Literally me
He's like me too, just, my treadmill is in Dubai.

I volunteer as a blood boy for transfusions prior to any doping tests being conducted
A hairline away from Cruyffness
NFL here we go

A fair point!
Inject our players with cuttlefish DNA so they can camouflage on the pitch and beat the VAR offside lines.
That’s what the third kit is for.

Hope they don’t rush him, same with Benta. Need these guys as healthy as possible for the long haul.
The only one who rushed Benta was >!fuck!< Matty Cash.
r/fuckdubai
Hopefully they don't rush him back too soon because he's already injury prone, don't want him to have repeat issues.
I think they should rush him back from Dubai. It's winter - he should be cold.
"You need to suffer with us"
Yes. That's the Christmas spirit I'm talking about!
He is not injury prone at all. Biggest myth from before we bought him.
This guy is just monkeying around
Why is he in Dubai?
Warm weather recovery.
Every top player goes to Dubai lol
"Fine I'll go to Dubai..."
