Are the only teams in the league throwing out the big bucks the ones owned by the PIF?

Thank you for posting this. I’m sure the other lifelong Saudi soccer fans have been disappointed in the lack of organized discussion on social media and TD.

Serious question, is there a reason why Henderson and Fabinho have taken so long to complete?

Just out of curiosity I looked up average game time temp for the league games. It’s was 85 degrees or so. Not a killer for us Louisiana gluttons for punishment, but some of those euros are in for a warm surprise.

How long until you see the Saudi's buying their way into Champions League? 5 years? I guarantee you had that Super League happened you would have Al Whatever playing in it right now.

I’ll never forget when some of the Chinese League teams started getting some decent players and that Southampton dude (thinking Graziano Pelle) was quoted as saying something along the lines of it was always his dream to play in the Chinese League.
