Leverkusen building up a nice little setup with xabi and now this scout

Great look for Leverkusen. A loss for Brighton but with the network that they’ve built, they’ll be ight

Ancelotti can't get his board to buy a striker but made the refs not go to var so Barca can't benefit.

poor deduction

Only a matter of time before we see the super league x champions league with Saudi clubs in it

Not sure about this, but the expanded club World Cup is going to be interesting now with Saudi clubs that could be capable of knocking off the Euro giants

They just expanded the Club WC too.

Should be fun from here on out then.

 

[Coupé It]

Fluid stole my take tho.

Saudi will definitely try to get into the Champions League. They’ll argue Israeli clubs on top of the buckets of cash.

There was a chance for these non oil clubs to protect themselves and they let beans on toast people tell them it would end football.

 

[jape]

all that money that the saudi league has they could really invest in the foundation of football with academies and such instead of working from the top to bottom. hopefully that’s the next phase of their development.
there are literal part time construction workers playing in the league

I read something two months ago that that is exactly what they’re doing.

On top of the players they’re getting they’re building a foundation for the youth. Of course their kids won’t pay a dime.

Saudi can do it. They can really shake things up. Qatar tried but Qatar is just too small. Not enough people in that small of a country.

I have to say, you’ve been doing a great job in your new Saudi ambassador role

Maguire staying is silly considering colwell is right on his heels for the england starting spot

 

[worldbeefreeg]

As much as Saudi can build out the infrastructure, they’ll always be limited by the fact that none of these guys will want to spend time in a country as restrictive and oppressive as Saudi Arabia.

she’d be a really good pickup. good technique. barca are stacked so she probably wants more minutes and deserves more

Crazy how lopsided the scale of wealth is. If done right and they develop bottom to top, they might be able to create something great. State of the art facilities and all of that, would be really good for the youth over there. But would young players from other countries want to move over there tho

Better than Antony

Can’t stop, won’t stop. Boehly got his wrist in the pot!

Even tho they dropped 200m+ Chelsea got me feeling like arsenal need to make some more moves I already thought we still need another goal scorer whether it’s a striker or backup for Saka.

it seems like KT is on the way out plus Timbers injury so this is good news. We were a couple injuries away from seeing Rob Holding back
