Well it certainly isn't need by any stretch of the imagination. It's more an illness; Acute Greed....it's an addiction, and the Saudi's are happy to feed it with their bottomless pit of $.
I prefer it when they pay out lots of money for old, past their best players to join small clubs in Saudi. If Ronaldo, Messi, Benzema, etc want to go there and earn 100s of Millions for exhibition games it's understandable. Hopefully, they will focus less on buying uk clubs and distorting the competition in premier league and European competitions.
Unfortunately, they will probably do both.
