Saudi league seems determined to buy as many stars as possible… and the pricetags are insane.

Is this going to make the league more interesting?

I think it’s just sad and something has to be done. Some kind of limits has to be put on how much money a league and teams can spend. I don’t know if FIFA has that kind of power.

FFP is not in "play" clearly, so it remains to be seen if FIFA or UEFA step in at some point.

Does it make the league more interesting? I would say yes, but more in a sideshow-type aspect and not something considered as serious global league. If major players do go and they build on top of them, well that changes things down the road, but it will take time to transform, plus endorsements, TV rights, and everything the big 5 leagues benefit from today will need to extend to the Saudi League. I just don't see that happening so soon.

It's like Messi in the MLS. It will have an impact on that league for sure, and yes, more ticket sales, more jersey sales, and more exposure to a larger audience, but it won't make the league more relevant or competitive when compared to one of the bigger leagues. Not yet anyway. Who is to say that more players don't come over after seeing Messi's success?

Money does talk, so we will see if this just opens up some major doors.

doubt that, literally no one cares about Saudi league even with Ronaldo, would rather watch relegation battle of serie A than that.

I don't care about this until they bring good results in the match.

Couldn't be more wrong. Many people are interested in it due to Cr7.

I dont know why you want a limit to be put on their spending. This is how a lower quality league becomes better in a short time. I want there to be other leagues as good as the premier league.

Saudi league are recruiting for their lower divisions from all around the world so they are serious at making the league better.

they don't even give a fuck about football yet about making the league better mate, lol.

I see a lot of CR7 and Messi fans talking about MLS and Saudi league. And they got quite many fans.

But beyond that I am really doubtful. I am not a fan of either player so I don’t actively follow their leagues. But I do think it’s sometimes read about what they’re up to.

It's funny how you mention it's sad when PSG are like the Saudi league. European clubs have been stealing talent from outside Europe and now they are getting a taste of their own medicine and they don't like it.

May the Saudi league continue to take the talent from European football!

In fact I think it’s hypocricy. I see Ligue 1 every year being ripped of its talent by mainly EPL and then being called a farmers league.

Money talks whether we like it or not. That is sad imo… doesn’t matter who splashes the cash.
