Damn nigga! Money plays huge role in most decision, if running around, sweating profusely for 90 minutes plus extra time isn't about money what else is it for? Human right or not, there are terms and conditions involved and their lawyer would have spelt it out to them so they know what they're getting into. The chance of sexual harassment lawsuit will be almost 0.

What is ruining football is racism not players moving to where they love to play. If these people are honest, then they must see football as the same everywhere. Any league that can attract top players should do so, football entertainment is not meant to be enjoyed in only one continent shikena. sad sad sad sad sad

So what? Is Toni Kroos playing for free?

He couls move to saudi today but he didn't... Messi got same offer with more money he refused. No everyone is money hungry. Some people have self conviction and believe it. The people who suffer those human right abuses how do u expect it to stop without such movements? Such decisions is how the Europeans stopped slave trade, killings of twins, give countries independence etc.. Like i said if the Arabs, Russia, china etc become the superpowers of tomorrow forget ur human rights slavery might even return.... The European are not Saint but they have listening ears unlike some people...

Why didn’t Messi play for a lesser wage at Barcelona. Everything is about choice, do you know that Messi makes as much as CR7 even as he’s in US? Don’t allow sportsmen to fool you, they all play for money


Toni Kroos has passed his prime, let him chill

OP created this thread to shame Ronaldo....but it turned on his head🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 so sweet to show how he shot himself in the foot .... career is all about highest bidder ... Saudi always had the money ...all they needed to do was just to get Ronaldo and the rest will be history... Ronaldo only played there for 5 months b4 the exodus of European stars flooding there .... in the 40s and 50s ... South American players dint play in Europe, reason why Pele never played in Europe ... but the moment Europe started using money to lure players all over the world, the European league became number 1... players like Odegbami didn't play in Europe cos there wasn't good money that time ... allow Saudi to enjoy their time

But why should everyone stay in Europe to play football?

Alot of changes happening already in the world.

Europe is getting abandoned gradually and things are shifting elsewhere.

Sometimes you guys act daft with stupid questions. He's only stressing a point, Europe have done their best in investing in youth system that builds a player from ground zero up and have given none European the platform to raise and refine their game. so in some sense they have earned their reputation for been the best.

SAUDI is just a vanity project, when the league start? Having money is different from building a good name. SAUDI doesn't have a reputable name yet, Morocco has a better football system than Saudi. It's for this reason you saw how well they performed. You can't come and be destroying my house just because you believe you have money.

Agents are also destroying the game, arm twisting and manipulating players, especially the Young ones who have a potential to represent their nation. Will you expect to play for a Saudi club and represent my country? No

If Saudi so much liked football, why haven't they tapped directly into Africa and even east Asia where there are Soo much talents. Why are east Asian moving from Japan,.Korean and other asian clubs to Europe? It's reputation and functioning system.

Just imagine ex wolves coach dropping Ronaldo to the bench, when we all know his reputation is average. How will expect to develop as a player? Also look at Saudi, how many churches are their for christians? ZERO.

IT'S A STRICT ISLAMIC COUNTRY unlike Europe that gives you everything to be comfortable. Let's see if Neymar can be doing sign of the cross and looking up to the heavens when he scores. If you too broke, go there after you have peaked and retire.

Imagine this guy saying "lack of human rights" is stopping him from making such a move.

Yet it was in his own home country in Berlin, the year 1886, that his ancestors and fellow european criminals divided Africa for their loot not minding our human rights.

The wave of revolution happening across the so-called francophone countries are a direct result of his ancestors...yet I scarcely recall him making a mention of the notoriety of his ancestors.

The same way England, France, U.S and Canada have pinned africa down on the neck with their knees, many are not aware Germany too had colonies in Africa. It was the war they fought amongst themselves, the 2nd world war, that made Germany lose its "territories" in africa.

Very obtusely greedy people.

Anyway, seems Kroos is subtly shading his former teammate...otherwise he would have restrained till his illustrious former teammate retires or close to.

Tempted to say "God bless Russia". Call them evil, your choice, but from the look of things, they are necessary.

Stop shifting blames on these Europeans. Black people and greediness are just five and six. How on earth will a family be in power for 56 years and they say dey are running democracy still with no good or visible achievement. Black greediness is the highest have ever seen. It's oppression and abuse of power the only motive they seek for it.

see eh, you don't need to waste your time on some people. These same people used money to bring the best to play in their league and are reaping insane rewards via TV rights and sponsorships.


If you do what they did, they will accuse you of not being passionate. What has more passion than money in this world?

The truth is not far from what Toni Kroos said. The motivation is money why top players are moving to the KSA league to play football. Arab money at work. Like he said, it's a personal decision.

This is one of the rare occasion Kroos talk make sense.
People that should be highlighting all the human right abuses being faced in Saudi are the ones going there because they are blinded by money.

This Saudi thing is a short term project, I give it 5 years max before the house crumbles and players that's worth their salt will refuse their offers.

It not about if cr7 should play for free. He was paid althrough his career from man urd, real Madrid etc did any say those tomes it was for the money? No.. We are saying Ronaldo claiming that it is because of him other players wen to saudi is a lie, that is what we wan u to understand.. Those players went for the money.. Alot of players eg ighalo were there before cr7 came was it no same money that took them there?

can you make reference to any top player that turned down a mouthwatering deal from Saudi in the past?

Do you really think Kante, Mane, Neymar, Benzema, Mahrez, Firmino, Henderson and Ronaldo would consider moving to Saudi in their prime?

Why do you think Mbappe and Osimhen turned them down cos moving there will be the end of their career but they will make money.

Well let me clear you and your useless Toni Kross, nobody care about you and your useless Europe anymore. Na their money, if them like make them use am buy shit, he no concern anybody.

England with over rated players. Imagine Chelsea signing a player for £115 and you think football is not about money. Wake up from your sleep, the world have left you behind.

How far na? Your man no win the UEFA men award yesterday? Wetin happen? The era of his Ojoro don end.

My dear the top players are now playing in Saudi league and we are happy about it. Football is all about money and they’re happy making it. I guess Toni Kross plays for free and charity.
Even your over rated Europe now buys average players for £115 and you say it’s not money. They’re Jealous simple. How much PSG buy Neymar then? Now tell me any Europe player the Saudi have match with that price

If you were up to date with what is happening, you'd know that EU is planning to invade the Western Africa (like their ancestors did) in the coming weeks in the guise of restraining jihadi group but it is the main pretext to pillage our resources and stem the rising revolution in West Africa and Sahel regions.

Black greed you mentioned is a thing, accepted. But I can never ignore the elephant in the room, which is the pupeteering thieving west. It is a much bigger problem that gives the local thieves the backing. At the peak of EndSARS protest in 2020 when Tinubu was apprehensive of the revolution, where did he run to? That's your homework. 24 hrs before the killing of the protesters, who did he have a meeting with? Another homework for you.

Anyway, your submission makes it clear that you are short-sighted on the effects of neocolonialism. After Niger ousted Bazoum, their former western stooge president, why didn't they stop there? Why did they go ahead to march and continue the protest against french embassies and the ousting of their ambassador and french troops on their soil?

Niger people sef wey no dey go school, get sense pass some so-called naija wey dey pass thru school but school never passes thru them. Set awon otellectuals.

Middle East is as important as Europe for that matter.
Is there a law compelling young and vibrant footballers to play for European clubs alone? Can't any one pursue their carrier where ever they choose? Must it be Europe?
