Gonna see more of this I think. They're simply outspending everyone. Probably will come back to bite though — look at China. Oscar's still fucking there.
Lmao really? Oscar had style, it's pretty bleak that he spent the majority of his career in China. Not that I have anything against their league but it's just that the best players should be playing against each other, not wallowing in a foreign league for money
I think people will be surprised how much more frequently this will start happening. The truth of the matter is that the Saudis have enough money to turn their league into the worlds best, or at the very least comparable to the best leagues in Europe.
Not that I would want that to happen, but it is a possibility that shouldn't be so easily dismissed.
That’s a quite a strange move for such a young player at the top of his career, instead of older players.
Maybe we’ll get more and more young talents moving there.
Yeah I think you're right; Qatar attempted to attract a lot of talents from West Africa and Brazil in anticipation of the world cup, so I'm sure we'll see something similar to bolster teams in Saudi Arabia.
Might be a Mendes related thing, that no other clubs wanted to pay what he and wolves wanted. He also went to wolves in the championship when he first went there even though he was obviously better than that.
As a Wolves supporter, it sucks to lose a player that has meant so much to the team. But that's a better fee than we were gonna get elsewhere and the team needs it.
