SaintRam Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 So... what's going on there then? Jelavic from West Ham the next to go, probably for way more than he's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Jelavic is to a second division team too. Money talks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 This really could be the next "big" league... Endless amounts of money, no spending restrictions and as far as I'm aware no restrictions on overseas players (?) A list of recent players to move there include... Alex Teixera Jo (ex Man City) Gael Kakuta Jackson Martinez Stephane Mbia Freddy Guarin Gervinho Ramires Paulinho Bids for Payet, Lavezzi, Jelavic... with the money on offer they're going to attract the sort of names the MLS is, but in the primes of their careers.

I hope they keep chucking money around. Personally I'd love it if all the "big" players disappeared off to China and the USA because we might then have a chance of seeing British players playing in the English league and very hopefully player wages, agent fees and ticket prices might come down to reasonable levels.

Duracell Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 How long before the money in the game is so evenly distributed, everyone just plays players from their own country/academy again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterRam Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 one word "Japan" Gary Lineker to Grampus Eight, what came of that league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a bunch of retirees going off for a quick buck, this is literally dozens of players in their prime being snapped up by clubs outpaying the European Giants. I fully expect to hear changes to the AFC rules regarding number of foreign players allowed in the coming years. Chinese clubs spending the megabucks is hardly new, but they spending the megabucks and actually convincing people not just to come, but in large numbers is. An interesting change may be happening before our eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Lots of the topEuropean clubs have been developing marketing franchises in far east for some years. Could alter the financial dynamics quite profoundly for some of our clubs if the Asian supporters have their favourite stars in the local team.
