Jinky67 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Just now, kennie makevin said: Regardless, he is bored of playing for Celtic. As any properly ambitious player from overseas who hasn't had to endure from infancy the lie of how 'massive' Celtic are would be after a year or two of predictably beating the same 11 teams again and again and again. And that isn't a criticism of Celtic. Nothing they can do about and not their fault, just the way things are for a club that actually aren't very 'massive' at all. Didn’t realise you and Jota were so close. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he went to the Premier League I couldn’t see any club paying him a 6 figure a week salary so this sort of money is nuts and the climate will surely appeal. Hopefully we get a decent fee back, he’s only 1 year into his contract so we should be pushing them for as much as we can, we know they have it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adidas must be conducting a social experiment to see if anyone will actually buy it. Celtic must be one of the easiest home kits to appease the fan base, just basic green and white hoops, f**k knows what adidas were thinking because that's awful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably fairly ignorant to the standard of the Saudi League, but I don't think I'd be adding too much weight to the expectation that the standard is going to increase significantly. Players are going there for an easy pay day and won't be under the same pressures to perform like they are in other leagues, IMO. As I said, maybe it's an ignorant view of mine but I'd still think it is a drop in quality for the majority of players heading there, including Jota. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree they won't be playing under the same pressures but they are signing alot of top players in their prime. A bit like the Chinese league though the local players won't really be anywhere near them. It's going to be very strange.

Busta Nut Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Saudi League is a joke. Don't care how much money they throw at it. Been done before. That top is horrendous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenlantern Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 Not that I rush out to buy these kits, the long sleeves & sponsor version is a bit busy. But on the other version I applaud the originality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally get that, just don’t feel their obviously quality will be supplemented enough by the quality of their team mates to warrant any significant rise in the standard. For example, I’d be surprised if Jota’s new side would beat Celtic in a competitive tie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
