That's how it works so I guess you can expect them to arrive when they're like 35-ish.
USD and Australia isn't exotic.
Cyprus is exotic because its like going to the cayman's or Virgin islands or some such thing.
US and Australia are pretty big countries.
And yes, Ronaldo could go the US or even Australia. He is the kind of player they want and can afford to sign.
You have to know that the Australians and Americans run a business model that is fully developed and they have a National Draft which is the reason why the bottom teams can end up winning the championship the following year because the bottom teams have the first draft picks which they can either use or sell for millions of bucks each.
They are considered exotic by football standards… they are places that washed out stars go to retire.
Washed out like Florian or washed out like Villa and Del Piero?
Florian you can't even say was washed out because he was never washed in Like Del Piero and Villa were.
Villa who btw scored for Spain in the World Cup against Australia ended up in Melbourne City 3 months later. hardly washed up when he was scoring for Spain at the World Cup.
