At the expense of the collective
Refutes the claim that heās finished if heās amongst the top scorers in the Worldās best league.

I mean he had a stinker of a second season, a stinker of a World Cup and now heās off to the Saudi league mate soā¦
Not to mention there were several complaints about his performances and questions as to whether he should be dropped at United in his first season back despite the goals.
You may not think heās finished but thereās nothing to support your opinion whereas I can draw on the last half season of stinking the joint out and a disjointed 12 months prior to thatā¦

Fair to say he isnāt what he was but I wonāt subscribe to him not going to the Bundesliga, Serie A or Ligue 1 and not scoring for fun.

He is finished. Last year ok he scored some goals, but as @Flexo pointed out it was at the expense of the collective and look where that got his team? In absolute shambles.
Fact this season is he is stinking up the place anywhere he goes. United, Portugal at the WC and going by that compilation at Al Nasr, it looks embarrassing too.
No serious club in any European league wanted to ti in this football player with a 10 feet pole. For good reason.
Guy is simply officially finished. No shame in that, he is 38. The sooner he understands this the better. Now he is just a parody and embarrassing himself.

His salary being 500k a week allegedly at United was probably more of a factor as to why interest wasnāt high.
It just seems an easy narrative. One of the all time greats has six bad months and there s a notion that means heās finished.
Weāll he is now because heās not going to get a Balon nomination in Saudi is he?

Oh my word, I made the mistake of checking out the ongoing Al-Nassr match.
Couldnāt believe what I was watching.
I saw the Riyadh All Star v PSG match a week or so ago and thought that was an exciting match but if this is the level of Saudi league then Iāve got bad news for all the networks that got the rights to their matches. 
Proper dog shite level. Iāve watched league football from teams in the lower echelon of the Top 30 European leagues thatās lightyears ahead.
Whatever it is theyāre playing, itās not football. 
Manās already retired.
2002-2022. 
3 games in the Saudi Arabian league, 0 goals

But but butā¦ he would still cut it in the Bundesliga or Ligue 1 according to some on here 
But but but Messi went to Ligue Un to statpad against French farmers.
Unless he really wants to improve his tan Iāve no idea why this would be deemed better than Unitedās bench.
Why is this in the Cross Bar
