Indeed, i'd be thinking about the impact of massive buys by saudi clubs that will not push its viewer instantly but as long as it will have a different time than european competition and I think that people are quite tempted to watch it. I do know your major concern must be if saudi pro league has the same time as european league.
I saw that there will be some saudi matches that's gonna have the same time as EPL. It will surely make saudi pro league get fewer viewers caused by im sure if the majority of people gonna put their attention to the EPL match rather than SPL match. The good thing is if it's not all of matches were having same time to play as EPL.

It is their first step to make their league more attractive but if they want to go far, they need more than that. The foundation of a successful league should come from its local national players who should be trained and grew up by good local academies. Super star and star players from Europe can help to train and share their experience with local young players but it is a very long process and won't be completed after one or two seasons.

I disagree. They both are like classic strikers and after Cristiano joined Al Nassr, Talisca had to sacrifice a lot but of course he came back in late of season after an injury. I knew Cristiano gave chances for Talisca to have goals from penalty spot in order to help his team-mate to compete for the league best scorer. Unfortunately at the end, Talisca had one goal less than the winner.

Generally I don't think two players are good combination and the appearance of Mane will help to connect Al Nassr attacking system better.

In a new season, Talisca will not play at the central position which will belong to Cristiano. Talisca and Mane will play at two swings or Al Nassr can play with two central strikers and Mane will support them as a forward and like a bridge between Al Nassr midfielders and two strikers.

I agree with that, because even though currently the pro Arab league has brought in quite a number of top players from European clubs. But still, the majority of football fans will still watch matches in the European league.
But, maybe for Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, or Benzema fans, they definitely won't miss their matches in the Arab Pro League. So basically the pro Arab league is indeed in terms of viewer ratings it will definitely increase quite a lot. But in my opinion, not all clubs or matches in the Arab pro league will be watched a lot, maybe what will be watched a lot will be the clubs that have bought or signed players from Europe only.

Because for now, that is the main attraction of the Arab pro league.

However, Talisca is still one of the sharp strikers for Al-Nassr's attack line. I think Sadio Mane, CR7 and Talisca will be mainstays in Al-Nassr's attack line. But Talisca is a player who can play in several positions at once. So when the position he usually occupies, for example, is replaced by a new star owned by Al-Nassr, Talisca actually won't mind too much because he will definitely be placed in another position without having to readjust. Because this one player is really flexible and good at placing positions and good at adapting. because he is an attacking midfielder and also a Forward. In fact, he is one of the players who can adapt quickly to the game shown by CR7. let's hope this player doesn't leave Al-Nassr. Because I still want to see Al-Nassr's top players stick together this season. Honestly I expect Al-Nassr to win the SPL trophy in the coming season.

Overall yeah, leagues in Europe will still attract attention but at a certain time the Saudi League could be the main when there was a big match for example in the Al Nassr vs Ittihad match of course we will not miss this opportunity we want to see the battle between super star Ronaldo vs Benzema. Besides we still can't compare the European League with the Saudi League, clearly different levels, although there are many European players here but in different competition.

Since Talisca can play as an attacking midfielder and also a striker, he doesn’t need to worry that his position will be displaced by any. I feel after the signing of new players for Al-Nassr, the team will only become more stronger in the league. If Talisca goes back to Besiktas, I feel he’ll not gain much recognition has he has here now. Playing alongside great players like Ronaldo and Sadio Mane should be a big privilege to him and also to his career success in the eyes of the world.

Indeed the aggressiveness of several teams stood out in this transfer window such as Al Ahli, Al Nassr, Al Ittihad and Al Hilal in recruiting many of Europe's top players but the teams under them did not make recruitments impressive enough to build their team's strength. But the competition might be more interesting next season when compared to the previous season because several teams already have stronger strengths after successfully recruiting European star players.

In this week we see the progress made by Al Ahli as they were able to get a barcelona player where Kessi is the signing they have done this week. Apart from that, if you look at the rules that will be carried out by FiFa for them, I think there is nothing that needs to be adjusted because they are moving according to the rules in buying players in this transfer window.

When this league start at the same time as the big leagues of Europe we are gonna where really this league is. Im talking about Tv meassures, and i think most of the people its gonna still atach to normal european football, maybe they are gonna check results but nothing more.

You are right, Talisca can still compete there as we know this player is one of the top scorers in the Saudi League So if he is given the opportunity to keep playing then he will stay in the Saudi League unless he is no longer needed, maybe he will leave. Previously in 2016-2018 TalISca had played with Besiktas so he already knows how competition in the Turkish League and I don't think he will move there while the Saudi League is in the spotlight.

Well Mane next to CR7 is something that can do so many very good things, Al Nassr is reinforcing itself in an impressive way, also with all the players who have left it seems to me that things are very good for this team and for all the Saudi league in general, I personally think that things can go well as long as these teams continue to raise their level, just thinking that all the reinforcements that have gone to this league, this makes Saudi football much more dynamic It is a fact that things when it comes to good players, veterans and those who can contribute a lot are the ones that are leading that League for now, then so many young Promises that they can Recruit , it is a fact that it will be like that.

What I can intuit from this is that things can be very good when these players who are veterans go to a league where they are really highly valued, appreciated and can do things very well, I just do a simple By comparison, the players who go to a league like the MLS are players who have everything ready to retire, they go there to retire, but I see that here in this league things are on another level, it's not like in Europe, but they are taking a great level, they are taking the best players to this league, and the players are learning all these techniques, which in time the Saudi League will be one of the most famous and best in the world, who knows if more famous than the same as the European

As far as I am concerned when CR7 went to this league and who opened the field for all these players to venture out, of course money is an option that any player likes, it is a plus that they had not seen in Europe.

Saudi clubs interested in signing Manchester United’s defensive outcast

This here is very easy to see, the MU needs money and they want to take out this defender who I think is very good and did well at Villareal, but who understands the things that a Ten Hag wants? It is very difficult to see, to be able to establish the things that he wants? That is something that I only leave to the MU, I don't know who the MU wants to bring if they manage to sell this defender, they would also be doing very well, because every Arab team offers good money, and that way they can buy a A player who can help Bruno and Antony much more, because the situation of this team that has lost its way to win important competitions is quite strong.

After signing Stephen Gerrard as their manager and subsequently got the signature of former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson, I thought that Al-Ettifaq will majorly participate in the transfer window by signing more European based stars to the club just like other Saudi clubs are doing but unfortunately, they've not signed another known European based player since then.
That being said, I think Jordan Henderson will still make a great impact at the club next season despite the fact that it will be his first season outside his country. He's got the footballing abilities to make a great signing for the club

Yes, maybe will same as previous season. I mean Talisca is a good partner for Ronaldo in the previous season, and I think also there is no doubt in this new season, because he should be a good partner to Ronaldo. Especially now that at there is also Sadio Mane already exists, we might see some good play from his feet. But I hope Sadio Mane not got any injured, because if he's injured then of course he won't be able to show a good game at Al Nassr.

Jodan Henderson was never an expensive player like Ronaldo and Messi, he could never be an important player for his team like Mbappe but still, he was a great player when he was playing for Liverpool and as the former captain of Liverpool, even if he wanted to choose the Arabian teams for the next season, he could choose a team where he can race for the title and achieve something there,
Regardless of that, I think the main reason for Jordan Henderson to join this team in Saudi Arabian was Steven Gerrard, who is going to coach Al Ettifaq in the next season.

This is first season from Saudi League as they are spending huge funds and now concerns are rising by many UEFA clubs and most chances we will have these concerns in FIFA as well because now many clubs are feeling not secure with these high salaries and huge spending even now just promoted club Al Ahli is spending money for having many top class European players which are going to have good impact for them, but things are not good for these clubs which are losing their players due to money.

Right now most of the players are joining here just because of money because they are feeling they can't have this all from European clubs and now many fans are also feeling bad about their favorite players those are leaving their clubs for the money as it's good chance for them to have money of life Al Ahli is surely going to have better spot in this season as they are having good quality players.

I understand, I guess. But you've really got me thinking now, man! Al Nassr is sort of shooting for the stars this season, aren't they, with all their bells and whistles? I mean, come on, their new players, especially Mane and Ronaldo! They are both stars in their own cosmos, so combining them into one squad is just... amazing! And speaking of Fachant, who knows what's going on inside his head?

But let's pause for a moment and talk about Mane's past before we go on. Yes, he didn't quite perform as well for Bayern Munich as we had planned. But he's now working with Al Nassr. Does past performance indicate what will happen next? Considering that we are not discussing stocks, perhaps? Things are looking quite grim for both of them, especially with Ronaldo by their sides

After all that, and this is the crazy part, teams are odd, man. You can have all the good stuff, the creme de la creme players, but if they don't gel, then it's all just... meh. I dunn

I do not think that he considered success as one of the reasons he went there. I mean we are talking about more money than he could ever get from any other team, he just went there for the money, play for 1 or 2 years, get all that money, go back to England and keep being a coach or something if he wants to or he could literally just put that money in interest and live off it forever until he dies.

That's the kind of money where you could literally end up spending all your life if you want to. Or with that kind of money he could buy like 2-3 house buildings in London, and then rent it out, the value of it will go high as well but he would be able to live off the rent easily as well without a doubt, it is that huge amount of money.

Talisca was the main player before all the superstar came to Al Nassr,but still he has a large contract and i dont think he will go to play in Turkey for a lot less. Besiktas is a good team but i dont think he will leave them that easily. Only way he can leave the club is if a new striker comes to replace him

For sure, we do not have much information about one of the Saudi pro league clubs namely Al-Ettifaq. but as far as I'm aware, Al-Ettifaq is one of the clubs that has its own academy. maybe, if they will rely on some local players. Also, we don't really know how rich this club is. but if I look at their squad, they have some foreign players. So, it's not just Jordan Henderson. even Moussa Dembelle, now part of the Al-Ettifaq team. after all, Al-Ettifaq doesn't seem to be a top-tier club like the 3 clubs we know, namely Al Nassr, Al Ittihad and Al Hilal.

But by bringing in Steven Gerrard, it is hoped that he will be able to bring this team much better than before. Jordan Henderson's signing by Al-Ettifaq, it seems, was initiated by the coach to help him in Al-Ettifaq's midfield. thus, Gerrard will be more flexible in managing his team through Jordan Henderson.
by the way, these are just assumptions and scenarios that I think of.

I agreed with you about this all because in last few days I was also looking for few things, but sadly I have no details how things are going here in Saudi League they have 16 Pro League teams, but huge spending are done by only few teams which is wired they need to work on different strategy which create good craze here in this league and all teams go with better and same quality base having just few teams at top level and others on poor level surely going to create problems with most of the matches could be one-sided, and we will have competitions like La Liga or Bundesliga which are ruled by just one or two clubs.

Now we also have few other complaints as well about their spending, hopefully in near future FIFA will bring some law or strategy about this all because there is rumor few English clubs are going to complain about this all as well.

Especially with the arrival of Sadio Mane to Al Nassr, of course Talisca's position will be slightly displaced, if placing 2 strikers in his formation but sometimes Talisca also likes to be made an attacking midfielder at Al Nassr.

There are rumors that Talisca wants to return to Besiktas even though it is not yet a valid rumor only circulating in several videos, maybe he started to feel uncomfortable after the arrival of many star players, especially Ronaldo and Sadio Mane?
