TBF, I think you misread what most everyone was saying (especially me). No one said the Saudi league would take over football.
That is very clever!
Nusa is not a prolific goals scorer, but assists yes. We need someone to take advantage of the assists . The jury is still out on Ricky and Son is getting older. We will need a striker as well, the most rumoured one. Wing Santiago Giménez.
He's one of the top rated young wingers in Europe for sure. Scored on debut for Norway NT. Turned down chavski in the summer because he didn't like the pathway and how many other wingers they have.
It was a piss take post in relation to the same tweet being posted 10 fold . I've got no clue what Nusa does or doesn't do.
I think I agree. Looks like a young Luis Diaz. Hopefully our coaches can greatly help him if he comes
Bravo. Don’t agree with you on the levy stuff (I think you lost the flight of the ball there) but this is genuinely brilliant and funny. Spat out my vodka and coke.
There were definitely a few on here talking about the Saudi teams getting into the CL and becoming the powerhouse of world football in just a few short years, conveniently forgetting that Saudi is a 40c hellhole with archaic views on society and women in particular. It will take a lot more than just money to shift the paradigm of European football being the utter juggernaut that it is, there is over 100 years of football culture and history that can't simply be bought. They will for sure have successes in other sports, they are doing particularly well in golf and boxing atm, but they will never shift the world footballing focus to Saudi, it's simply not feasible. I expect to see a curtailing of spending by Saudi teams as the PIF identifies more European/American teams to invest in and sportswash down that avenue instead. China tried to do it too for about 2 years and realised how fucking mental the spending would be to get to a place where they were an attractive proposition and the government put the kybosh on it very quickly.
And the Super League beating UEFA+FIFA in court makes you think a Saudi financed Super League is less likely?
