As a Young Talent, playing for Saudi Arabia league or any Unknown leagues
Doesn't bring Glory to your name.๐Ÿ˜’

Dat's how Incredible Hulk of Brazil left Porto to Russian league and killed his career.๐Ÿ˜Ÿ
Same with Redhot Striker, Jackson Martinez of same Porto, who left for an unknown league.๐Ÿ˜Œ

If Osihmen becomes GREEDY like Okocha, na him Sabi. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜•

Russia China did not sign A-Class players ..... Saudi have signed balon dor winners and top 3 nominees of the balon ... the have signed top coaches ... Ronaldo, Benzema, Neymar , Mane, Mayrez , kante are A-class ...Salah , De gea , lewandowski, modric are next online .... it has never happened b4 ....

He won the Ballon d'or, top 5 Fifa best. Got lots of goals and assists. He played an important role when Real Madrid won the back to back UCL & one of the best in la-Liga 4past 4season. He is a better player and more successful than Neymar. Modric is a better player than him. Gnabry of Bayern I will like to have in my club than spoilt & unserious Nyemar

Baba

Kelvin debryune is in the same category as iniesta and xavi

But none of the 3 midfielders can be in the conversation of Best footballer in this generation

Messi
Ronaldo
Neymar

Anything outside these 3 for the last 10 to 15yrs
2008 to 2021 is just you having a personal preference

Mbappe is serious and more successful than Neymar in both country and club side. Is because strikers,wingers and scorers are more focus on when it comes to awards or accolades

๐Ÿงข if you have a qualification or skill, the middle East is a nice region to work. Just respect the laws of the land.
2 of my friends that went to east region with a 1st class qualifications came back. They prefer their own for the job even if u are more qualified. Racism and language barriers too is a turn off. So America & Europe is far better than East region

The midfielders is has important has a wingers in a game of soccer. I been a player, I appreciate a midfielder, my natural position is 11 or playing behind a striker 8. They called me Zidane, Henry& Okocha during my playing days. But my role model was Delima Ronaldo. I am aslo an utility player, I can play side backs and I perform well when the coach put me in the position. I am a great passer of the ball and got pace

That's why I laughed anytime I saw argument like "they are after money". Why did every player want to play in Europe? No be because of better pay?

You are still living in the past. How many young players went to China?
When Man City was bought, some football lovers around me said that they would never win any cup but I said that I gave them three years to be in the same league with Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. The rest is history.
Saudi Arabia football is undergoing revolution but you still couldn't see it. Had it been only old and washed up players are the ones moving there, I might agree with you. But the case is different.
Players moving to Europe, wetin dem dey pursue before? No be money again?
Saudi Arabia football is not advanced but you just have to look at the direction it is going right now

Don't tell me that that simple explanation hurt your feeling.

Those are the people in your league who possibly can't see beyond their nose.

they're going to secure the bag period...

You still don't get it, no one disputed that. But the point is Saudi league will also benefit from it. Every player is after money, as much as they can get, be it UK, Spain, Saudi or wherever.

Yeah, we know. But with this, if sustained, give them few years and you will see how myopic you have been.

I don't know why some of them are fixated on China's or Russia's failure to project Saudi's league failure. Are the conditions the same? No. Saudi is signing top class players both old and young. Signing top coaches from Europe. And there is money to sustain the services of these players and coaches for a long time. Yet, they couldn't see Saudi league revolution! Well, it means it will have happened before they can see it. grin grin grin

One. I'm not sure I can call myself youth.
Two. Never played bet in my life! Don't even have football app on my phone.
Three. People like me don't do "point and kill", we buy whatever we like and take it home to our family. grin grin grin
Four. I don't chase money, money comes in steadily whether I go out or remain in my house. We took care of that some years back. So, I can waste as much time arguing with you as I like. Laughing.

No. I don't contradict myself and no blind arguments from my side.
My point to you is you're myopic, can't see beyond your nose.
Saudi is not advanced, they are using money to lure big European players and coaches. And we're telling you that if sustained over the years, they will be there. China or Russia failed doesn't mean Saudi will fail too.

Now stay the phuck off my mention ... I am not even supposed to give you the attention you seek.... you're another troublemaker...

You claim you're mature but your comments prove otherwise... undecided

You're the one who lacks foresight because you're too optimistic. People like you fail alot even in business. Football is not just about money... no matter how much saudi spends they still have a lot to do... do you think they can keep up even financially... they'll get tired... everybody will get tired you'll see... passion is key... that is what keeps football alive... Europe is fueled by that. Now in addition I still can't phantom how the Muslim world will embrace an infidel sport completely... this is just an example of the barriers in that terrain... how complicated it can be... go and ask Ronaldo... am not supposed to spoon feed you with facts but it seems you're a pri.c.k... you're too full of yourself. undecided

If privacy is not allowed on social media then anonymous character won't exist, Twitter for example won't allow users disable or delete bad comments. Nairaland will soon get such feature but until then I will like outcasts and troublemakers to mind their business. Comment your comment in peace and leave my own comment alone. I don't play games, I use my phone for business, and am here for business. Case dismissed. undecided

All these one you are saying is story for the gods. Most Players play for the money, it's not trophies that will sustain them after retirement. My own take is that they should use the money wisely. Those who play for passion can keep on playing in Europe. It's their personal choice/life not ours to decide.

Exactly....besides, playing in Europe does not guaranty a player winning trophies at the end of his club career. Look around, how may clubs actually win trophies if not the big traditional ones in the respective leagues... E.g, players in clubs like getafe, Burley, sasaolo, Monza, bournemouth, etc no dey ever will anything .

The transfer of Karim Benzema to Saudi Arabia was a bit of a shock to me, I thought he still had two or three more years to play as a top-level football player for Real Madrid, but he decided to call it quits and go for the money, its understandable anyawy.
