Former Barcelona and Porto winger Ricardo Quaresma has signed for Dubai-based Al Ahli on a free transfer following his release by Besiktas.
The 29-year-old Portugal international, who had recently been linked with a move to Liverpool, has agreed an 18-month deal with the five-time UAE League champions and will be formally presented this evening.

Never really understood the hype behind Quaresma. Clearly the guy could never play outside of Portugal. Why such big clubs blew so much money of this bloke left me scratching my head!

Thought he never did too much wrong while he was on loan at Chelsea but could never quite hold down a position. Was extremely one footed if I recall correctly, so maybe that's why.

Great gig if you can get it.
Get paid big to sit under an air conditioner in one of the most jaw dropping cities in the world with absolutely no comparative pressure to perform
On the flip side i have no idea why they even bother with these big international signings. (admittedly i havent seen a match from the UAE ) It seems nobody would even care.
The clubs attract 3 digit numbers to matches and i just dont see the the verification for signing these sort of players.
That is of course me thinking as a middle class citizen and not a filthy rich Sheikh who plays club is his version of Football Manager 12
