Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

Casemiro to Saudi league can bring some fresh money for them and change something.

I do not know the certainty, but the news is related to Casemiro rejecting an offer from a Saudi League club. Amorim has shown interest in bringing in a new midfielder for his project next season. However, the club may consider the finances to pay Casemiro's high salary. There is no doubt that if he can come to Saudi, United would benefit from bringing in the player Amorim desires. But we will see how things develop until the transfer window closes.

Not only Casemiro, in this summer's transfer market they also expressed interest in bringing in Antony, a player who also plays for the Brazilian national team. So far the transfer of both players is still gray but of course if Man United succeeds in sending both players to Al Nassr then this will be a breath of fresh air for Man United to be able to get funds to bring in new players. Man United clearly wants both players to leave Old Trafford, but this will be quite difficult if the players choose to stay because as we know that both players have big ambitions to be able to enter the main squad of the Brazilian national team and represent their country in the Club World Cup, and if they join Al Nassr then it is likely that they will be removed from the main squad of the Brazilian national team unless there is a guarantee that they will appear in the 2026 World Cup with Brazil even though they no longer play for one of the European clubs.

At. Barcelona, his performance there seems like his best, he was probably at his peak in when he was and that was all of the performance we saw from him then, I think that also influenced the quest for him by Atletico,  at Chelsea he did not really do much but it is not enough to write him off just yet maybe let us hope he will do better here at Saudi, I am very optimistic about what his performance will be in Al Nasrr.

Al Nassr needs João Félix more than he needs the club. It has been frustrating for them for the last two years. Even with a very good lineup, they never came close to becoming champions in the Saudi Professional League. And Ronaldo is not getting any young either. He is already 40 years old. Al Nassr management initially thought that Sadio Mané and Jhon Durán would provide adequate support for Ronaldo. But things didn't worked out that way. Hopefully Félix can fill the vacuum.

But we will see how things develop until the transfer window closes.

I feel that it's a big opportunity for Casemiro to leave United for SPL because he will be paid heavily and also enjoy the rest of his football career over there, because he is no longer in his peak form. He has already plahed all his best in him when he was in Real Madrid. If he accepts the deal, it will be an opportunity for Amorim to get a player of his choice.

Casemiro to Al Nassr would work, sure he may not be a great player, and may not be at his peak like his Real Madrid years, but he played with Ronaldo and they were good together. Ronaldo is not at his peak neither anymore, but he is playing fine at Al Nassr, it would be basically the same thing. United would be willing to sell too, he is their highest paid player or one of the highest if I am not mistaken, and he is running out of his contract, he will never find the same salary ever again, so moving to Saudi would help him.

Basically it's a win-win-win situation, United wins because they get rid of a high contract and can get 2 players for that kind of salary instead of 1, and Casemiro wins because he gets to play for a lot of money, and Al Nassr wins because they get someone better than who they have.

Al Nassr management initially thought that Sadio Mané and Jhon Durán would provide adequate support for Ronaldo. But things didn't worked out that way. Hopefully Félix can fill the vacuum.

Yes, Al Nasr has always struggled to win the Saudi Arabian League trophy, and this is certainly a headache for them. They've spent a lot of money to bring in great players like Ronaldo, Mane, and Duran. Unfortunately, they've failed to win the Saudi Arabian League trophy in the past two seasons. So, now Al Nasr has brought Felix to their team, hoping that Felix's arrival will slightly improve their chances of winning the Saudi Arabian League trophy they desire. But in my opinion, this won't be enough to make Al Nasr champions. Because the biggest problem Al Nasr currently faces isn't in attack, but in defense.

So, I think Al Nasr needs to pay more attention to its defense. In my opinion, the reason Al Nasr has always failed to win the title is because its defense is weak. When it comes to the front line, I believe Al Nasr already has good players in that position. Therefore, I believe Al Nasr should sell their underperforming defenders and bring in better defenders. As far as I know, Al Nasr hasn't brought in any truly outstanding defenders yet.

Joao Felix is a good player and Al Nassr is a good acquisition for them, at least they will have someone who will be helping Christiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane in terms of goal scoring, I absolutely think Al Nassr needed Joao Felix if not they wouldn’t have gone in to sigh him, Well they have been making some good signing in previous transfer windows but they have not been able to win the league, I think Joao Felix is the replacement of Jhon Duran who left the club for Fernabache in the space of 6 months it was never a good move for Jhon Duran at his young age, So let’s see how it goes for Joao Felix well his country man Ronaldo is their so he will definitely help his to adapt to life in Saudi Pro League.

Last night, Al Nasr played against Toulouse and won 2-1. I think this victory is a good sign for Al Nasr's progress. Although their defense is still poor, but I see some positive developments from Al Nasr in this match. Furthermore, Joax Felix also made his debut in this match. I think even though he is still adapting, he was able to show a pretty good performance in this match. So, it seems like Felix will be a great player for Al Nasr. Once he can adapt well there, I am sure his great performance will be seen. And as usual, Ronaldo also managed to score a goal in this match. So this proves that Ronaldo is truly still a very sharp striker.

Al Nasr were the better side based on the game's statistics. They played like a team which is an indication that coach Jorge Jesus is not doing a bad job. The Saudi-based club defended fairly well and were also good in the attack since they created so many chances. It was also a classic display from the greatest of all time Cristiano Ronaldo.  He was dangerous in the front and also scored a goal with a good finish.

Joao Felix had a very slow start. His presence was not felt much on the pitch, and some of his passes were faulty. Honestly, the Portuguese player needs to work hard if he wants to bring back his dwindling career park to the top. There should be more improvement in his physical strength and mental alertness.

I don't think Casemiro was that bad when Real sold him. Neymar then said that Casemiro is the best defensive midfielder in the world. I don't think he was very biased. But the player is a tool, Ten Hag couldn't use this tool properly. It wasn't Casemiro's problem. He's 33 now and it's clear that for his position it's a significant age, but in the SPL he can definitely play 2-3 seasons at the top level, I would be happy if he moved there.

He wasn't that bad, he was still very good but not great as he used to be. If I recall correctly Manchester United paid him 70 million euros and he earns something like 18 million euros per year, those numbers are just too high for a player that was clearly at the end of his prime. Real Madrid made a great deal selling him for that amount of money. I like Casemiro, he had a super successful career, I even remember him from Sao Paulo, but at that moment he wasn't worth that much money.

But at that time United were "in a hurry" to get back to the top positions (they thought they could do it lol) and were ready to pay. And I will say that it was impossible to buy a player from Real Madrid from the Modric-Kroos-Casemiro combo cheaper. No one could have predicted that things would go so badly at United, Casemiro seemed like a magic wand and for the first half of the year he was. But then the swamp swallowed him up too. Plus, if I remember correctly, he even played some games as a defender (and failed), it's hard to blame a player when there's such a circus in the club.

To be honest, I don't believe that Joao Felix will be able to play well even at Al Nassr, because with every loan and every transfer, he seems to play worse and worse, and it seems that he simply doesn't understand modern football.
Of course, the Saudi league is lower in level than the EPL, but over the last two years, some very strong players have come there, and not all of the top players of the past have been able to play there.
For example, Neymar couldn't even play in the Saudi league, just like John Duran, who was bought for a huge amount of money by Aston Villa, but Duran couldn't play at the level he showed at Aston Villa.

Neymar would have performed well if not for too many injuries. He couldn't play many games and had to leave when it became obvious that he was injury-prone. We cannot predict how Joao Felix's time in Al Nassr will be. He might end up working hard and become an asset in the Saudi Professional League. I wish him the best because he has endured some hard times.

If Neymar had not been injured so much, he would not have come to the Saudi League now and he would have spent all the time he spent in rehab before coming to the Saudi League in pursuit of football and he would have had many personal achievements. When we saw Neymar play in the 2014 World Cup, his great skills and ability to keep the ball in his favor at a young age impressed us and we thought that this star would rule the world of football later.

He performed well for several years after 2014 and his best time was when he played for Barcelona, but when PSG took him to their club from Barcelona for a significant transfer fee, Neymar's injuries started. After one or two matches in a season, he would get injured again and he would be out of the field for the entire season. 

By the time he did that, his career was almost over and when Luis Enrique took over at PSG, he clearly told Neymar to look for another club and at that time Neymar was injured so no other club was interested in him then Al Hilal offered him a big money and Neymar moved to Saudi Arabia. Neymar's time to come back to football may have passed and he may retire from football.

[tygeade]

Casemiro was already declining when Real Madrid sold him to Manchester United, now he's really at the lowest point of his career. If he moves to Saudi Arabia then it would be a great deal for him because, for sure, he'll make a ton of money, but I don't know how much he will actually help the team.

I don't think Casemiro was that bad when Real sold him. Neymar then said that Casemiro is the best defensive midfielder in the world. I don't think he was very biased. But the player is a tool, Ten Hag couldn't use this tool properly. It wasn't Casemiro's problem. He's 33 now and it's clear that for his position it's a significant age, but in the SPL he can definitely play 2-3 seasons at the top level, I would be happy if he moved there.

What Neymar says doesn't really matter, he could be friends and just say stuff for being polite, doesn't change anything. Reality is, we are seeing him play, and while in some games he still shows why he was a great player, that is selective. You do not see him play every single game the same way, he picks games, and in those games he plays like a superstar, at least for United standards at least, and in all other games, he is nowhere to be found because he doesn't care.

This is the trouble for United, nobody really gives their 100%+, confidence is gone, even the players themselves think that they are no longer a good team, and as long as you do not make an overhaul of changes to teams, then you won't be good. Look how terrible they were last year, and look how many of the same players are still there.

Joao Felix is a piece of shit as a player, he show nothing at all in every team he has played and we are talking about a lot of teams and a lot of leagues which it make all worse, because you maybe cant afford the way of playing or the speed in some league but failing in every single one is something much more serious.

Although he hasn't performed well in the leagues he's played in, perhaps in the Saudi Arabian League he could improve, though not become a perfect player. I hope he ends up at Al Nassr to play alongside Ronaldo and his teammates, as Al Nassr desperately needs some good players with European experience to strengthen their squad for next season. And I think Joao Felix could certainly be a good option if he were willing to play in the Saudi Arabian League for the team I mentioned.

Joao Felix may not have been able to show his good performance in Europe, that is why he has a high chance of coming outside Europe, that is, coming to the Saudi league. Every team in Europe has a strong defense, I hope that the teams that will be their opponents in the Saudi league will not have such strong defense positions, in which case this star will have a chance to do well. If Joao Felix's contract with Al Nasr is completed and if he enters the field for Al Nasr, then only by seeing his performance in a few matches will it be understood whether he can do well. Many of the players who sit on the bench in European clubs have been seen to perform well in the Saudi league or any other major league, that is why Al Nasr is offering him an offer, even though he is performing poorly.

For me some things in football are very simple, and one of those is that a club should never overpay an old player just because they need it now. There are some exceptions of course because players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi moved to Juventus and PSG when they were kind of old, but we are talking about two unique players. If we relax and we look at Casemiro's deal it was clear that, financially, didn't make any sense for Manchester United.

I'm not blaming at all the player, Camisero won everything with Real Madrid and he was in that phase of the career where usually, because of the age, he would get a pay cut, not a crazy amount of money like United offered him. I'm blaming Man Utd, not Casemiro.

Al-Nassr  football team performance was very excellent against Toulouse football team in the last match as they did excellent job in this match as they did 2 goals in this match and players looked in brilliant mood in this match and they did back to back goals in this match. Gboho was a person who did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 25 minutes when it was requirement of the match and he gave good start to his team when it was required to the team but with time they got low confidence players and they could not do more goals in this match and opponent team players did 2 goals in this match which was back to back. Ronaldo was a person who did second goal of the match and he did this goal at 33 minutes and Maran was a person who did last goal of the match and he did last goal at 76 minutes. Al-Nassr  team won the match due to effort of that player because he did goal at perfect time.

nice win for Al Nasr as they where able to win Toulouse even though it was a friendly game it goes to show how good the quality of the team is this is again a good one for the Saudi league because often times people underestimate it

[arabspaceship123]

Friendly games let players get to know each other but their strong test's in their leagues. If Al Nassr don't win the SPL they'll say Cristiano's time wasn't successful so it's about his reputation & Al Nassr.

Yes, it's undeniable that Felix has failed to shine in several football leagues. For example, in La Liga, when he played for Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, in Serie A with Milan, and in the Premier League with Chelsea. So, with that in mind, I think Felix really needs to improve his current image. If he fails to perform well in the Saudi Arabian league, I think it will be a huge problem. The Saudi Arabian league is fundamentally not as competitive as the major leagues in Europe. So, if Felix fails again this time, of course, Felix will be labeled a bad player by all teams.

However, it's still too early to say that Felix is performing poorly in the Saudi Arabian league. He's still new to Al Nasr, so he certainly still needs to adjust to be more impressive at Al Nasr. Therefore, we can't currently judge Felix's performance as poor, because as far as I know, he's only appeared once for Al Nasr. And I don't think his performance was that bad. While it is true that Felix still has a lot to improve on, but saying he is playing badly right now is not the right time.

It saddens me to see football fans (and mainly Ronaldo fans) around the world who watched last nights game and think Al Nassr could play in some European top five league. Just because they beat Toulouse doesn't mean they would be fine, it's clear that if they were in UCL this year for example, they would finish at the bottom or near the bottom, they would not be in top 24.

We cannot even list them in the top 10 leagues in Europe, so Al Nassr doing fine here, or even Al Hilal beating City, these are all not that important when you calculate a teams power. Put them in something that means like UCL, and they will end up getting beaten by even smaller teams because teams will actually care about it, and not use it as a marketing.
