Yep.



Why ?
For China to promote the game in their land and for the players, money.

A bit like players retiring from Europe to the MLS , only with buckets more money.

Hi Ash,

I'm not sure what was in the news exactly, but many soccer players who are in the last stages of their career are going to China, the US, and other lucrative upcoming countries

The lure of outrageous wages, somewhere in the region of half a million, has tempted many of our premiership footballers to pursue their careers in china.

( it's called football because it's a sport played with the feet, unlike the American version)

I can name at least 2 players in their prime, who have been tempted to jump ship to china.

It's hard not to be tempted

Especially if they are not playing in the first team regularly

Chelsea's young Brazilian talent Oscar , has already left for the Far East & rumours are that's arsenal's top player "Alexis Sanchez"may follow suit.

We call it soccer here too, because we have our own native football as well.

There is a football league there

It's usually a temporary thing, where a big sponsor pumps untold amount of cash, to boost their domestic league.
It happened in India a few years back.

There's little, or no loyalty, in football nowadays & a £350,000 a week pay increase is enough to temp any man, especially when you consider that a footballers career is relatively limited.

Magic Giroud goal


Even better than Mikhtaryan's considering Giroud was onside laugh

Yeah when we click we're good, problem is a soft underbelly. Next few months will decide a lot about Wenger's future.

That's the ecstasy (and agony) of Arsenal though.

They are either magic or awful

Why would there be?
Players are bought and sold as commodities
TV decides when games are on, etc.
The players might as well look after number one as well.
