I gotcha, thanks.
Use a perspective that is not our's though. One of the biggest stars in that part of the world, who scored the best goal of the World Cup and is killing it in the Asian Cup......is going to Asia. I'm sure that's a pretty special move from an Asian perspective. Don't you think?
Yeah, my point was that he said something to the effect of "my next move will really have a lot of people talking". It made it sound like he was buying a club & playing for it or something. One guy over 30 moving to UAE isn't a "game changer" for world football, is all.
I have no problem with him going to the UAE, just don't blow smoke that it's quality soccer. It's just not a very good league. If an Asian Confed guy wants to play in Asia, all for it, have no problems there. But, if I were him, I'd be playing in J-League or someplace a bit better than the UAE. He's got a family to think about, if that's where he wants to be & gets paid more to be there than here, whatevs, it's his life not mine. Just, he shouldn't be a toolbag about the move meaning something more than it does.
I am just glad he is going. The joyfulness is over, time to move on.
