That it so cool. We need this in Europe.
Saudi League thread
- Thread starter shamans
- Start date
I think you'll find we did it first
Life has peaked as we know it.
This is the greatest thing to happen.

I'll never forget when he tombstoned Wayne Rooney
Genuinely they need this in the CL. If the US owner influx brings anything, hopefully it's each team getting a WWE official mascot. We'll likely get lumbered with Khali.
Typical oil money, they get The Undertaker whilst we get the grim reaper.
Even Kane didn't want to come here!
They should get The Shockmaster to do the same for the League cup final.
Ronaldo 0 trophies. Great career in SA.
He thas won one though
As childhood WWF fans, that was epic
The saudi equivalent of club world cup?
Al-Hilal fan attacking a player with his belt
Why has the Saudi gent wearing a Thobe got a belt anyway??
Be very interesting to see the reaction now. Ronaldo's contract is up, like him or loathe him he was the face of the league trying to build.
They have definitely taken more 'good' players than many thought they would, though I am not sure they have lured the calibre of big names as they hoped (Mbappe turning them down in public). Will it now slowly die, or will they keep spending?
Will there be an exodus of players? If so will we be in for Duran, Veiga, maybe Diaby?

He’ll probably just sign with Al Hilal
If Ronaldo leaves the league, the league goes back to total irrelevance; the powers that be know this, so they'll give him another bag to go to one of the other SA clubs.
It'd be kinda funny (and sad) if Bruno signs there and then Ronaldo leaves the league.

Veiga is off to Porto
League will definitely not die with Ronaldo. I mean, the league will not die as long as they are willing to spend. There will always be plenty of top players wanting to join. They are not joining because of Ronaldo, but because of money they can't earn anywhere else.
On the other hand, what does death of Saudi league even mean? It held no significance to me or anyone I know even with Ronaldo and everyone else there. I don't know a single person who watched a single game, before or after Ronaldo joined. So, basing my opinion on that, I'd say league is too irrelevant, regardless of what signings they make, to even have the chance to die. And yes, annecdotal evidence is not the best way to build your case, but I am pretty sure it is correct in this instance. Nobody started watching this.

Is he, good to know. He was awesome in la liga. one I thought we should have got. Those are the guys who validate the league more than the old names in my opinion.
Probably a very sensible move if he still harbours ambitions of playing at the top level in Europe. Easy league to stand out in, European football, and he can probably just live in Galicia again if he wants.
