| And i did say in my first post on this topic, that pato might come here if he is 36 and injury prone, it seems probable to me that this league could end up a graveyard for footballers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| stan, the only other offer Fowler had after his 3 month period with Blackburn ended with only 6 games and 0 goals was to play with Grimsby Town in League 2. He's 34 and again, a player at the end of their career. Yes he has been excellent for the Fury, but one wonders if it is not showing the quality of the league, seeing as when he was with Cardiff in the c'ship he only scored 4 goals in 13 league games, compared with 8 in 13 here. Think about the major int'l names we have had. Yorke, Juninho, Fowler. All over 33, none really could be termed greats, very good players at their best, but their best was long before they landed here. And so far, no-one has lasted more than 1 year. |

| rivaldo has always been a mercenary im not saying they will play for a pittance if the weathers good, but i believe that the lifestyle of the country does play a part on where they'll go, btw i never thought robbie fowler would play here, yet here he is, i believe he could have made more elsewhere, but he chose the sunny beaches and the warm waters of queensland |

| Rivaldo would of made a fortune in his career yet he is playing in Uzbekistan I think it is! Unless the lifestyle of paying Borat's sister who is 4th best hoare in all of Uzbekistan for a good time counts .. I think some do still go for the money, after all that money has to last them the rest of their lifes and who knows what work skills they have after their career has ended |

| i agree it might have grown by then, but if the A league hasnt grown in 14 years then it never will, dubai is safe but it has very strict islamic laws, china may have the growth yet they can be just as strict, btw he should be very rich by the time he gets to the age of playing in one of these leagues, so i wouldnt be to surprised if he chooses lifestyle first. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| one correction stan, the a-league MIGHT have grown by then. This year the shine is off the apple, attendances are down, tv ratings are down, the league is struggling and has delayed the expansion plans. The gold coast last week capped it's crowd number in an effort to cut it's costs in it's first year. Arab countries like Dubai are plenty safe, there's more money in J-league, china's league is kicking our a55 in terms of growth at the moment and now they are looking to spend some money, not to mention a plethora of european clubs in countries such as Ukraine, Georgia, Cyprus etc looking for exactly those kinds of players for thei champions league campaigns.. and of course MLS.. True it is a loooong way away, but the a-league has got a bucket-load of growing to do before really truly topline int'l players will consider it as an option. |

| i think by the time he is 36, the A league will have grown substantially from what it is today, also the arab countries offer little for safety, the fans in brazil frequently go on riots, anyway who knows he might come to like the climate on the gold coast. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| not even then. If he is world footballer of the year he'll more likely end up at home in brazil, MLS or in one of the arab leagues where there's more cash. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| he may come to the A league one day,but it'll probably when hes 36 and injury prone | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| well if the answer to one of your questions is yes, then the answer to the other is no... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| great player, the next big thing in world football !! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I saw the game, first time ive ever seen AC Milan and Real Madrid play and I like the young 20yr old Brazilian who scored 2 goals for AC Milan. Does anyone think he could be the games best player in 3-4 years and do u think he could one day come to Australia to play in the A-League ? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
