Are they buying a lot from mid table clubs?  Neves, obviously. 
 

They appear to be going the American route (NASL, MLS) and buying last paycheck stars from the bigger clubs. I guess ASM (like Neves) is a sort of exception as he is relatively young, but mid table clubs aren’t biting. They’re picking up luxury players on high wages as far as I can see, players  that smaller clubs can’t afford.

 

Midtable clubs are better of buying and developing young talents from Portugal, France, Scandinavia, and ( why not) England as far as I can see.
 

 

Alex Telles, ASM. That’s the way they will build out their league. Sign a bunch of players that could do a good job for an upper mid table team + some older established stars. 
 

Even Mahrez is only 32.

Ok, but which midtable clubs can afford  to buy or pay the salaries of Telles or Mahrez?

 

Not disagreeing with the idea that the Saudi strategy for building a league is solid, I am questioning your assertion that it will gut midtable clubs.

… Telles would absolutely play for a midtable team or go to a Europa level European side.  Same with ASM and perhaps Neves too.  Neither ASM or Neves are an astronomical wages. 
 

Mitrovic, Zaha and Diaby might go to Saudi too.  Generally any player that would go to clubs below the top 6 might consider Saudi. Especially those who are not from Western Europe and even many will be tempted.

Diaby too. Could easily see them targeting good talent that falls a bit short of the top 7.

Aye. Earn £120k a week at West Ham or earn £400k in Saudi?

 

Theres not that many teams in the PL with global appeal. The reason Fulham have Brazilian internationals is money. If there’s more money elsewhere, many players will follow. Our takeover came at that right time.
