[Football] It sucks getting raided by a bigger, wealthier team

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

A former pro on talk shit today said that Saudi league is basically the same a when MLS was setting up. They are so clueless.

Yup, this. The Saudis are essentially doing what the MLS has done, but with deeper pockets

Money aside, playing football in the US sounds much more attractive than doing it in the Middle East but money wins

Well....they only have about another 120 years until their oil reserves run out, so if we can all hold out until then, we will see the playing field start to level out again.

It’s only Chelsea or Newcastle for Caceido now surely. Would Arsenal still want him ?

If its only the ££££££s he's interested in he'll probably end up in Saudi and we'll get the £100mill we want!!

There are a lot of people critical of players moving to the Saudi league. For you is there a difference between the Saudi human rights record and Qatar's?

Maybe we are just hearing from those that boycotted the World Cup? If not is there an accusation of double standards around this.

Is there a difference in looking away from poor human rights records for large sums of cash or to be entertained by football?

Allegedly that’s what they wanted to discuss with Jamal Khashoggi.

Saw this on wiki re Saudi league. Interesting, wonder if they will keep it in place.

The number of foreign players was increased from 7 to 8. Clubs can register a total of eight foreign players over the course of the season, but only seven could be named in the matchday squad.[44]

But our competitors might use those fees from the over inflated prices to buy better, younger players?

So, does the concept of tax just not exist in Saudi Arabia? How does actually work?

Oil/gas revenues from exports give the state the money it requires for educating white males, weapons to attack Yemen, vanity empty skyscrapers and footballers.
