Nine players move to Spain as part of Saudi-LaLiga partnership

[Tehranto]

Speaking of Scuma Arabia - this is them for honouring Iran Plane Crash victims. Pieces of shits.

It's hilarious how the 8-0ers saudied their way into Spain and yet are acting as ball boys and ground keepers.

Small update - 8 of 9 players transferred have not played.
One who got transferred to a division 2 team played in one friendly.
One coach didn't even know who the player he got is!
There is apparently a lot of anger by Saudi fans about this.

Saudi FA effort >>> IFF effort
Iran football talent >>>>>>>>> Saudi football talent

End of the day, Saudis suck at football. Their players just aren't La Liga calibre.

Saudi qualified by the grace of a qualified Jap team and a lazy Aussie team that drew too many games and won the last game but with one less goal margin( again lazy !) KSA should have watched the 2018 WC in their Sheesha bars but again luck came to their rescue !

I'm sure it's been said a dozen times on our forums, but Jap is a derogatory term for Japanese people, used during WWII by the Americans and during the mass hysteria of Japanese-American internment camps. Please don't use this term (even if only for an abbreviation) to refer to the Japanese team. Thank you.

That and I think at least 2 of their main starters were injured.

Saudi team to play Iraq in a week. None of the 'legionnaires have been called up.

So they basically are getting no experience.

The Saudi team is an all B team which will probably make up reserves of the 23 man list with maybe 3 or 4 starter level players in there.

First I thought maybe this news should be in another forum, then I thought it was good for jokestan.com
Now I think the Spaniards will probably make 90 million dollars for giving each player a total of 90 minutes of play time in the whole season. Aside from this the saudis are basically sending sports spies to learn many things.
The players will learn about the workout, warm up practices, coaches strategies, communication with players, food, how to play in the cold or under rain. Many things that are taken for granted can be learned. Saudis are overspending and over-stretching themselves. They may learn all these but they cannot get gheirat and shojaaat keh dar khoon nadaarand otherwise they would not put up with a king that runs their lives and is controlled by the foreign bosses.

at least they are not cheating, they help their players to gain experience

its better than ghatar that buy players from other countries

[kastro]

So in essence they've forced (paid) these Spanish clubs to take their players on loan. I doubt those clubs even want the players. They'll all end up back in Saudi Arabia most likely without having played much.

This is like Qataris getting excited over Akram Afif who got loaned to La Liga and he played maybe 6 or 7 games laat season never a full 90
