I doubt they all read the fine print of their contracts, with a fair chunk of their salary to be paid at season and / or contract end. May not apply for the bigger names but may apply to the lesser stars.
Would be amusing to see the likes of Henderson returning to Blighty in 12-18 months with a lot of the for his future generation monies unpaid.

I would very much doubt that any football agent/lawyer doesn't go through every single word in a contract with a fine tooth comb. Even the 'lesser stars' are on crazy money and would have a team of experts behind them
I dont email the count anymore, its been 9 months : ( He even sent me a YBIG scarf for my Birthday

A lot of them aren't living in Saudi at all, living in Dubai and flying in and out for matches. Same thing Anzhi Makhachkala did 10 years ago

It's 900km Dubai to Riyadh, so at least 2hour + flight.
Where do they train then? 
It would damage this forums' reputation

Saudi is fast trying to become the next Dubai anyway. There will be western style nightclubs, bars and restaurants in the big cities. The king himself said in an interview recently they want to dramatically increase western tourism.

I wouldn’t assume anything in football considering the shysters involved and the trust players out in them.
