Just seen a few more prem players looking to make the move..
Be interesting if this becomes a long term thing or a few seasons before dieing off. |  |

Tomorrow it’ll be somewhere else - the real home of quality football is Europe for the most
Mercenaries who don’t really need the money
Next …….. |  |

They don't understand football, countries like Saudi never really drill into the reservoir of supporters. |  | | |

The lack of continental competition is what kills them I think. Saudi, China and Qatar have all had a go at attracting European talents but they’ve tended to invest at different times. If they were all going for it at once their leagues might get a bit more traction. |  |

Wouldn’t surprise me massively to see a Saudi team playing UEFA Champions League games in the next decade. |  | | |

Not a chance of it taking off. Money can buy most things but not everything. |  | | |

Could be more than a flash in the pan with the near-bottomless pit of money at their disposal. I suppose it depends on how dedicated they are to sportswashing. | |

But to be fair...if they bag Messi as well as Ronaldo? That completely clears out any other countries' attempt at this. China especially, I can only seem to remember Oscar, Lavezzi and a few others going there.
Obvs won't be able to compete with Europe still, but it's a sad day for football. |  | | |

Drogba went there straight after his first Chelsea spell. And Hulk, Fellaini, Tevez, Hamsik. But I'm not disagreeing as a generality. |  | | |

Teams from Israel already do, so not such a huge leap... Especially where oceans of wonga are available from salaries to sweeteners. |  |

Maybe it’ll merge with the Prem League in a year or two. | |

Agree.
There were rumours of inviting Argentina to the Euros a while back. I'm sure UEFA (and FIFA if necessary) would sell anything football has to offer for the right price. [Post edited 7 Jun 2023 13:47]
