Not a line up of a company that is taking Club serious.
Looks like they have put all their chips on NT's which is crazy they'll lose Portugal.

 

[rolaholic]

F it. China 2.0 indeed

 

[Coupé It]

Saudi’s getting Zaha too?

This is crazy.

 

[tomdiginson]

The Saudis trying to be China 2.0

We all know how that ended...

The U.S tax dollars and oil Barron's fund Saudi Arabia. As long as we're up, they're up. Very different than the China situation.

 

[Coupé It]

“Oh but let’s not take the Saudis and soccer seriously, there’s nothing to worry about, wahhhh…”


2 minutes later…

The Saudi’s changed golf overnight. One of the biggest flexes in the history of sports. When they don’t even care about Golf.


You guys are on a roll.

I rock with Saka but no chance in hell is he worth more than an Mbappe

Kind of insane the hit his value has taken coming off a career season, how do they even calculate these things?

Remaining length of their contract has to play a part, only way it makes sense.

100% would still be ahead of Haaland or tied if he went to Real last summer

WE ARE EATING

They don’t even know what they’re talking about.

How can Saudi fail when 4 of their top clubs are state owned?


Did humans discover a new resource or element lately from the UFO’s recently?

 

[Bosa]

Ya STILLL aint going to watch a lick of saudi footy. jape can ride that wagon alone

 

[Gex the Damaja]

Think it would be in Pogba's best interest to start putting some feelers out in the middle east.

 

[rolaholic]

The new La Liga logo/badge really is terrible

Was nothing wrong with the old one

 

[cs02132]

zaha going to Saudi would be the perfect end to an already weird career

Chelsea just gonna replace Kante with a regen

 

[El Argentino]

Our jerseys kinda sucked lately. Oh well.

TBH, Puma has been producing some hits recently. And w/o CR7 as a shining light for the selection, Nike has less and less incentive to pour money into that federation.

 

[Beans]

Neymar going next huh?

 

[El Argentino]

Neymar going next huh?

What he and his sister do on her birthday is haram.

 

[rolaholic]

Just to get slightly ahead of ourselves for arguments sake

If the Saudi league really ends up gaining traction and actually taking off like they're hoping, how long would you guys think it'd be until we see European teams/leagues kick the can on a Superleague again on some protectionism ****?

 

[rolaholic]

Well damn

 

[rolaholic]

Neymar going next huh?

Qatar would rather send him back to Brazil for free than that

I just imagine this being a weak play to try appealing to a more global market.

I can see this, what choice would there really be if they get backed into a corner? It’ll be scary AF if they come for an Mbappe/Haaland/Vinicius. Or just any player who’s in/entering their prime and highly important to their respective club.

Yea that's where I think things could get real interesting.

If the league becomes successful and they wind up posing a credible threat for poaching younger talents/stars in their primes (with the literally limitless multi-generational wealth being offered left and right) instead of mainly players at their twighlight, European clubs/leagues are gonna get nervous

 

[fluid hips]

Caught that man in 4K

 

[Belgium]

Better change that avy to Son in a Hilal or Nassr kit soon.

What?
And besides, I have a framed signed Spurs kits with my fav players all there. Son, Prime Sissoko, Kane, Lloris, Kyle Walker (who hadn’t been sold yet), etc etc.

I have less than zero interest in watching the Saudi League’s blatant sportswashing projects, much less buy merch. Good for the players though to cash out while fizzling out on the pitch.

 

[tomdiginson]

I am going to have to check out that Saudi League. Quality already sounding better than mls

For $20B you already know they're gonna go bananas with the presentation and broadcasting

Matches are about to have the pageantry of international tourneys
