Opportunities have never been greater for declining footballers who are no longer cut-out for the major leagues in Europe. With the global expansion of football stretching from the Q-League to the MLS, extra money has entered football which has provided a final pay-out for some lucky stars.
With the likes of former Swansea defender, Chico Flores, ex-Hull City forward YannickSagbo, Xavi, Ashkan Dejagah, and Paulinho, who used to play for Livorno all making the move to the Qatari Stars League, the disposal of talent in this division has been growing in recent years. Yet, it is vastly overshadowed by the MLS, with Giovani Dos Santos, Steven Gerrard, Andrea Pirlo, Frank Lampard and Kaka all making their debut in the States this year.
