Is the saudi league really that bad especially compared to Serbia ? 

It's arguably right up there with Japan for the strongest league in Asia. The top clubs have very impressive players.

17 year old Australian Caleb Watts has been included in Southampton's squad for preseason game vs Guangzhou. 

And he just signed his first professional contract 5 days ago too (One of only 2 to get a 3 year deal). https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/2019-07-17/southampton-fc-academy-pro-contracts-jankewitz-watts-norton-keogh
Only 17, already cracked the U/23 team last summer. I read this squad is a mix of First teamers and u/23's.

Shame he is yet another midfielder.
And we have lots of examples of players breaking into first teams only to slowly disappear. For example, Jordan Lyden's trial with League One team Southend United seems to have gone nowhere and now he is trialling at Woking - national league. And to think he was in Villa's EPL team a few years back (made 4 appearances). Surely a return to Australia to play in the A-League would be better than trialling in 5th division in England.

That’s a bizarre transfer. A sideways move at best.

Watts subbed on, 61'


By now, American Samoa must have realised that Australias 22-0 win over Tonga two days earlier was no fluke.

I suppose the positive is there'll be lots of matches available. Leaving Edinburgh for Burton would suck though.

I imagine that it's not so much the league that's the problem, but the barbaric medieval fanatical theocratic dictatorship that the league is in.

PSV face Basel in CL qualification. Not sure if Sainsbury is 100% fit. Even if he started he lacks match practice. A bad game under strain gets him written off all over again.

Yeah they got some young talent from Spain I think. He's French. This is off the top of my head.

Boyle and Dykes started in cup matches.  Dykes won a penalty and involved in another during the first half.

Both are getting paid double what Sains is getting so you'd hope or that is a bit unfair
