Now I agree with you on this, bringing in a lot of European players doesn't guarantee that they will be successful, but of course the impact of the arrival of European players will make the league more competitive. I like it when you make comparisons like with Chelsea who spend a lot of money, but in terms of the game it's like there's no change. Also Paris Saint Germain who recruited a lot of star players, but they can't talk more when they compete with stronger clubs in Europe.
I agree with you, a club can have quality players but wouldn't be able to out perform other clubs that don't have such quality players. Let's take PSG for example last season was a mess for them with all the superstars that they had they couldn't play well in the champions league. Same with the SPL clubs,it is not to have hood players but also to have a quality coach who will guide and direct these players to bring out the best performance in them. I don't know if they can buy some European coaches and let see if these coaches will go to Saudi to change the football pattern over there. The European players will draw more attention to SPL and it will be more competitive than before as we have all seen it.
That's because they're not playing individually but as a team, and that will determine whether or not they play up to the expectations. There are also many clubs with players who are fairly ordinary but they can play nicely and very well, one of them is because their team play is also very good, creating such a situation.
When a club is inhabited by many star players, then they must also be able to ensure the chemistry between them is also created, because if it is not there, it will be like what we see in clubs like PSG for example.
The large budget expenditure by Saudi clubs is an effort to boost the quality of the league to make it more competitive, which will ultimately make the Saudi Pro League the best league in the Asian region. To become the mecca of world football like the European leagues, it requires at least four to five countries making the same efforts. At the moment it clearly doesn't make sense to compare the expenditure of EPL and Ligue 1 clubs with SPL clubs, because in substance the SPL has just started the first stage, namely making the League Competitive.
Media branding thanks to the arrival of world star players makes the SPL image more popular, thus causing sponsors to come and ultimately become the club income. If PIF funds go to all clubs in the SPL, you can be sure that Saudi efforts to build the League will not be in vain and will be realized in a short time.
It is undeniable that they do that one of them aims to boost popularity, and one that looks easy to do that is to bring many players who have popularity in Europe to join them, yes even though it has to spend deep pockets. But with their financial capabilities so strong, they can do it without feeling difficult and they have done it now and yes indeed the money they have to spend is very large money to appreciate just one player.
