Damn, Ruben Neves sold out and about to join a Saudi team. Depressing shit.
Joselu moving to Real Madrid while Benzema, current Ballon D'Or holder moves to Saudi Arabia. Football is about to be even more dominated by money lol.
True, although I wouldn't complain if the Saudis feel like splashing £100m on Partey
As someone from Hong Kong, where our best clubs are finally doing something in Asian competition, fuck that lol. The most famous person we've ever had play for us was a washed up Diego Forlán.
Oh my god that seemed like a lifetime ago
I remember seeing him on TV doing ads, it was wild. And now Kitchee are winning matches in the AFC CL while my club (South China) are languishing in the second tier cuz of money...
Aren't there like match fixing scandals every 2-3 years as well? I occasionally see the news reports if I happen to catch HK news.
There was one recently yeah lol. I honestly don't pay attention to the local leagues as much as I would like cuz I'm an overseas student now and cuz have you tried? It's not on Fotmob or Onefootball or any app, and my club isn't even on pay-per-view TV lol cuz first division league.
Isn't it usually streamed on the team's YouTube? It's also occasionally on RTHK TV if I'm not mistaken....which I get on "the box". Not sure if "the box" is a thing that's available in your area.
tbh you're making me tempted to email them and ask lol, I might just go and do that real quick...
Youtube is a decent shout but SCAA just have a bunch of vids about all their other ventures; I haven't seen tier 2 on RTHK TV but I could be just missing it.
Apparently also Edouard Mendy. Fucking hell everyone chasing the bag.
I can't blame em, given the money being offered.
@Gingerrific @Astrealix looking a lot like the Saudi PIF helping our Boehly and Chelsea
Balogun is looking to be a starter somewhere.....
But on a serious note, I'm curious to see what kind of selling fee Chelsea will get and whether they can squeeze it into this fiscal year or not. Poch has his work cut out for him and I don't think he is going to get the patience that the Chelsea rebuild needs. There are just too many issues to address all at once but they dug themselves a 500m grave they will have troubles getting out of, whether the Saudi's help much or not.
I'm glad to see players getting real money, instead of that money flowing to team owners etc.
It's too bad that to do it they need to go move to silly league without fans, but hopefully it will trickle back into the real leagues.
