Return of the Jihadi.

With the big leagues currently being updated, and most of the leagues around the world in close season, transfer activity within top100 is most intriguing.

You go to bed with a rolls royce in the garage, and wake up with the prospect of the rolls royce now being a Lada, as its whisked off to Saudi Arabia.

Managers need to box clever, as it could happen to anyone. We have gone through a short period of older players being cast aside (though ratings win games) to now being in a period that the very best players could be getting almighty drops due to their taste for cash outweighing their taste for football.

We could see in 12 months quite easily a different looking big 6 in top100, if those big stars decide to also jet off.

Add to that the MSL which has already snapped up the worlds best player in Messi, we could be on for a bigger rating decline of players than a “Salvo” Viagra come down.

Already we’ve seen Benzema head out to Saudi Arabi. As Benfica’s big capture in top100, it was timing at its best from Barcelona but leaves that Saudi cloud hanging which makes a barge pole further redundant.

Kante another timely departure from Barcelona headed to Schalke, which was followed by a move to Saudi, with one drop secured and another likely, Schalke will take solace that their division and position means Kante can do a job for them, but the likelyhood of this Midfield enforcer having much sale value is unlikely as is the heights of division 1 football in top 100.

Other players to flee to Saudi are Neves, Koulibaly, Mendy,Jota and Brozovic as others queue up to fill their pockets.

Agent Wallace’s luck appears to have run out too. 12 hours ago he had one of the gameworlds best defenders. As he wakes this morning James is going WBA in a planned move, however his best Midfielder Milinkovic-Savic is set for Saudi, whilst wide player Mahrez is expected to join him too within the coming days. He must feel like he has had a visit from the “child support agency” to collect maintenance given the potential affect of 3 x 92 players either not being at his club or taking a drop rapid. Already we have seen gameworld post of requesting players with the caveat”no aging or Saudi bound” players. Shifting a couple of 92s use to be easy, even if it was for promising players. However trying to move an aging player has recently become a challenge, so now moving a Saudi based player is going to be even harder unless its lower leagues, or some mug comes along.

I’m sure more are looking at their squads now weighing up who is at risk and who to move on rapid. This is serious money being put under the noses of players and in most cases the players are taking it.

Who is next? who is going to catch a cold? Only time will tell
