"Signing 30yrs and above is fair enough as they are in their last few years as players.
"But when Saudi are signing very young talents like Gabri Veiga who Arsenal and other top clubs want is just ridiculous… he's 21 FOR F*** SAKE!
"In short, this is what we call "MONEY WASHING""
A second fumed: "I hate this game."
While a third claimed: "Wasted talent."
Another added: "football is so finished."
Veiga emerged as one of LaLiga's brightest talents last season, becoming a regular for Spain's Under-21 side.
He bagged 11 goals in 36 LaLiga appearances, also laying on four assists.
The rising star came off the bench in Celta's opening game of this season, but was an unused sub against Real Sociedad last weekend.
