Do you guys think this league will outlive this surge of players? They are all old and most of them will retire within 5 years.

Would you watch this league once Ronaldo and Neymar weren't playing there? I'm watching the MLS only because of Messi, if he misses a game I'm instantly disinterested.

I think the league will continue to flourish even after the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, Karim Benzema, Neymar, Firmino, Henderson and other top former European based players retires from the league and that's because of the fact that the league must have gained the global recognition in the few years these stars where be delivering their best for their respective Saudi clubs.
I think more European based players will certainly join the Saudi League in the nearest future

Yeah, bringing Ronaldo opened the flood gates of soon to retire stars who are eager to join and make money. Nothing wrong with that.

But I guess it will only be a matter of time to know if their strategy worked well, or if this is China all over again.

I think it would also be strategic for them to start attracting young talent from the region, much like Portugal does with South American players.

Messi fans are just pained to see how because of Ronaldo big stars are joining the Saudi Arabia league from Euro and no one is going to MLS for Messi. No need of comparing the Saudi Arabia league with the China approach, in China there was no Ronaldo today the Saudi Arabia has Ronaldo and so many tv stations has gotten licence to show the league unlike china. Saudi Arabia league has come to stay, even if Ronald retired it will still continue. No need to panic
