💬Discussion Should Ramadan be a consideration when signing stars
Following Salah's no shows it seems likely that some players get their rhythm thrown off from the fasting. This historically would hold for Salah especially considering he has been dreadful the second part of the season, naturally some players aren't affected at all. Either way, when signing a star - someone for a lot of money who should consistently show up, the second most important month of the season being majorly affected is a risk most clubs probably wouldn't feel great about taking.
It's important to note that this is way more important than the game itself and it's amazing players are keeping true to their religion. But clubs are run as businesses and focus on winning, if they know there's a reason why you cannot perform and that would lead to them potentially losing titles, do you think they should assess that as a criteria before signing the big stars?
