Very little time remains until the transfer window closes in the UK, however this season the new Saudi Pro League will be throwing a spanner in the works as their cash rich government backed clubs are allowed to sign players up until the 7th of September, that is according to the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF).
The extra week available means the Saudi clubs can pick off transfers that didn't manage to get completed during the European window giving them what has been described as an unfair advantage!
The usual European giants have been 'taken by surprise' by the sheer scale and speed of the Saudi Goverment's investment which has 'upset the apple cart' right across the board. Some say it is about time that the likes of Real Madrid and indeed Manchester City have to fight on a level playing field and there are many 'lesser' clubs who whole heartedly agree!
This will be the LAST transfer window that isn't massively impacted by the 'new kids on the block', when the window re opens the entire transfer lanscape will have changed, UNLESS UEAFA of FIFA intervene, the Saudi Pro League will ask why should they?

I've just had a nose
At prem clubs ins & outs...I got as far as Arse & then Brentford...the amount of players that are released/ loaned or sold is mad! Junior Stanislas still a decent player & started to play games again for them released! Got to feel for home grown kids now trying to make the Prem
Fornals
If he goes it will be a sad day as he totally got the club and amid rumours of a return to Spain the Saudi rumour has appeared if true and he wants to make a decent amount of money for his families future then good for him. I want hope he stays as he always gives it everything but if he does go he will always be welcomed back by me and i'm sure all West Ham fans as for the other rumoured departures Ings well he needs to go for his own sake as Moyesball not for him and Cornet well he would not be missed as we never really saw him as for the Zouma rumour if they get silly money for him from Saudi i do not see the club turning that down and to appease Moyes they would sanction the Maguire deal and Lingards.
Come here...& there's more
Cornet was brilliant at Burnley,they used to say ' give it to me"

its very odd that they are going head to head in competition with the premier league yet bought The Barcodes? Am I missing something? Newcastle becomes a feeder club to the SA league?
