Do they think Dong will come in, play at United for four years, then go into hiding so he can stay in England without the necessary paperwork?

It is exactly the same as in any other industry. A Chinese youngster in Uniteds reserve is 'taking away' a job from a youngster in this country, that is one way of looking at it. Of course the better talent that we buy the better the team, league, there are also some obvious financial implications with Dong so it would strengthen Man Utd who will then be able to expand their playing staff 'creating more jobs' for local youngsters.
