tomphil Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Cahill was on something like 7 million dollars over there and that's why he went and that's why he'll stay there. Can't blame him at all really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrickvalery Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I know it's not rovers related so apologies for that. But these Chinese clubs are really making the world sit up and take notice. I know the league is still in its infancy really. But they're attracting some serious talent over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One star player (or Ramires) in a team and 10 Chris Browns...........burn bright then fade away........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butty Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 So did American Major League soccer. China will be like that. One star player (or Ramires) in a team and 10 Chris Browns...........burn bright then fade away........ Some serious players have made the move so far though, Alex Texiera who all the top clubs in Europe had shown an interest in, he's gone there. Jackson Martinez, only signed by Atletico madrid in the summer who is a top striker, he's gone there. Fredy Guarin has moved there, Lavezzi, Gervinho, Paulinho, and maybe not so impressive, Jelavic and Demba ba have moved there. It's a league on the rise looking at that and it should only get stronger, some big money over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same kind of players that spend time at the rich Russian/Ukrainian clubs - mainly South Americans and Africans. If European players in their prime ever end up moving there, then we should maybe start to worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickvalery Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 won't affect us then I was thinking maybe we could hawk Chris Brown over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Just catching up on german football. Sandro Wagner... Remember him? We were linked with him in the summer. Looks useful, scored 7 league goals this season, big and powerful, could have been a decent replacement for Rudy. This does seem to be the first season where he's scored this many so far though.

bluebruce Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hope not one Phil Jones is enough! Don't think there's any chance of a permanent deal by the way. Yeh I hate when we raise players for very little through our youth system and sell them for 18 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinjayV4 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Yeh I hate when we raise players for very little through our youth system and sell them for 18 million. Thought you hate Jones? It does have an effect on Rovers if FUP gets scrapped and too many players move into China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've a memory, to be fair. Thinking the guy is a classless nob doesn't mean I don't accept he was a cracking player who made us a shed load of money. Playing-wise, I hope we churn out many more. It would be nice if one or two of them had a bit more loyalty than he did, but I've come to accept the modern day footballer will be off the moment a more successful or richer club comes calling. Not sure how it connects to FUP and China though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody wants conflict transfer money from all their diamond running in Sierra Leone, or their generally mafia-like activities. I've heard they use child soldiers too. Wait, what?

You're not disproving my comparison..............Pele, Moore and Cruyff all went to the states for $$$$$$'s and the league bombed due to lack of talent elsewhere.

Fairly damning assessment of his ability, if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
