    Looks like the Saudis are really having a go at improving their league and spending big money on top names from the prem and Europe. Yes some are at the end of their careers and we have Costa playing over there too. Players are still in their prime and getting younger. So far there is:
    • Ronaldo
    • Benzima
    • Kante
    • Aubamayang
    • Zaha
    • Hazard
    • Traore
    • Neves
    • Koulibaly
    • Mahrez
    • Modric
    • Asia’s
    • Veratti
    • Sanchez
    Some of these names to be confirmed but there are a hell of a lot more names to go in. Sports washing?

    FML. At this rate the PL (or Serie A or whoever) will be merging with Saudi footie like the golf has merged.

    That is not as far fetched as it might seem, bet they muscle their way into the
    CL in a few years time.

    Fast tracks to Saudi nationality, that or you've sand between your toes once et voila! A top drawer Saudi national team. Sort of worked for Jack Charlton's Ireland I suppose.

    People starting to look into the Chelsea dealings with these Saudi clubs. Chelsea owner has massive links to the Suadi sovereign wealth fund which could mean all these huge inflated transfer fees between Saudi clubs and Chelsea makes Chelsea books look good but in reality we all know they are in deep shyt unless they offload at least a dozen first teamers.
