I would have thought that keeping all of the expensive talent in the Saudi league is the aim though right? Why pay all that money to raise the standard/profile of your league to send the best of them to Newcastle?
Not sure how loaning a player for 6 months or even a year would help Newcastle really? Takes our new signings a while to get up to speed with Eddies training/tactics so not a great move really, it would be better to loan with an option to buy which might end up happening.
Personally hope loans from Saudi don’t happen for any club but these are the rules that the clubs wanted… Along with no automated offsides, seems like the clubs aren’t capable of managing themselves anymore but seems to be the Newcastle fans getting the stick again instead.
Didn’t watch the game did the referee just loose control of the game?
