WTF, I get the retirement bonus boys, but this lad is in his prime.

It just doesn't make sense.

I was thinking this earlier on.

One or two players have now turned into a handful that will have switched to Saudi Arabia.
Can see a lot more moving over this window too

This Saudi situation is just going to be like the Chinese league situation .... All the rage then all of a sudden goes all quiet.
Yea Ronaldo has gone there but he's done anyway. If Messi goes over there it will keep the interest going abit longer with the Ronaldo v Messi hype. Then when they both retire it will be back to being a dead league

Why are you surprised, players only came to England because it was the best paid, move over English Premier League the Saudis will pay more, and will start to attract the Worlds best players over time as the League standards improve.


It's just natural progression, look at Golf.

In the same way, Apple Tv or Amazon will take the Sky deals for themselves at some point too.

As supporters we don’t understand not wanting to play at the hugest level However most footballers just want the highest pay they can get Who can blame them a few years in Saudi will totally secure his and his families future at a level the vast majority of us don’t understand
