Is the Saudi Pro League the new Chelsea?
We might be able to shift some Of our deadwood here on loan instead of Turkey. At least they could pay full wages.
Rice has been linked with Arsenal and Man U as much as he has Bayern. Madrid are the biggest team in the world, they’re gonna attract players no matter how rich the Prem is. I think the statement was aimed at clubs in the continent not called Bayern, Barca, PSG or Real Madrid.
Give it time. Italian and Spanish Super Cups are already played abroad, won’t be long before Charity Shield is played in Saudi or Qatar, slippery slope from there.
China actually paid big transfer fees for the players they signed, Saudis’ are signing people On free transfers on ridiculous wages and signing on fees.
I think if Spurs had finished top 4 he’d have considered it. No point now as we’ve finished above them, and see no reason why we won’t again. He’d hold out for Arsenal now I think.
The left sided midfield role (where Ramsey has been playing) would suit a right footed player who cuts in. And with Barnes having the pace and skill to drive forward it might suit him.
