Hopefully not. I can understand lavezzi doing it but teixeira doing so was so ridiculous.
Footballers are starting to look a lot like those women who go out with the ugly fat man who's also rich and its the same thing with the Chinese league, even shit looks good when its gold plated.

You should all put money on my survival.

Nice run so far but some very hard fixtures in your remaining games. How many points behind safety are you?

I think it'll be mostly Brazilian players - at least initially anyway. Russia/Ukraine used to be the place they went (Willian, Teixeira, Hulk for example). Move to China will be more appealing with them getting a greater pay as well as less likely to endure racial abuse.

Well, it is a profession and they are in it for the money but surely achievements and career count for as much if not more? Someone like Teixeira could definitely make whatever he is making in China playing in Europe if he did well. 2yrs down the line but that's not too long considering his age.

That was because of the permit issues though. Doubt it works the same way with China. Hulk was basically forced there, a different case.

Good day for the Everton players. Arda and Vidal won with the latter getting an assist. Ronaldo and Jesé scoring. That Utd player Digne sure got owned by Jesé.

What a surprise, dominate the game and Southampton win. This game really is bullshit, you go from winning every game you play to then losing several games on the bounce.

Won 2:0 despite Isco and Ozil being suspended.

And Santi Mina has just turned into the greatest player of all time with two goals and three assists in half an hour for Valencia. Boom.

I remember him PMing me and him replying saying something like "I'm not sure if I want to sell yet" and then next thing I know you bought him for not even max money.
It was all it'd let me pay for him at the time.

Hey mate, how much can you pay cold hard cash for Mina? Thinking of selling him......
Lawnmo . • 27 Oct 2015 at 12:22

£10,272,000
Damien M • 27 Oct 2015 at 14:47

Okay, im after asking someone if they can sell me a forward for cash for a reduced price, i'll sell you Mina to raise the cash. Unless you're not interested anymore?
Lawnmo . • 27 Oct 2015 at 16:51

I'm still interested, that sounds good. Lemme know how it goes
Damien M • 27 Oct 2015 at 17:54

Turns out the player isn't up for transfer even though he was on the transfer list! Not sure what to do. Leave it with me.(y)
Lawnmo . • 27 Oct 2015 at 19:00

Hi damo. Cant seem to pick up a cf anywhere, no ones willing to sell, so it would be pointless me selling him. I had hoped to buy a transfer listed cf with the money, but even he is unavailable! When it comes round to me selling him, i'll let you know. Cheers
Lawnmo . • 28 Oct 2015 at 13:48

Hey mate, I have a deal for a cf in the works, so need cash. If i recall Santi Mina from his loan, you still want him? Dont wanna recall him unless you want him for deffo
Lawnmo . • 2 Nov 2015 at 17:44

I definitely do :)
Damien M • 2 Nov 2015 at 18:04

Okay, i'll recall him, make a bid, be good to me! and good luck!
Lawnmo . • 2 Nov 2015 at 18:20

Bid made, good luck this season :) hope the CF deal comes through
Damien M • 2 Nov 2015 at 18:24

haha!! Christ they don't like that you've picked that player up! They were all offered him previously but passed

He asks me for a player in exchange, not once did he say cash only deal to me. He's saving face with that last line. I remember at the time we all were really shocked because most of us would have paid and could pay much higher and yet he sold him to you for a fairly low figure. You did well, yet again. At least the Sterling deal hasn't gone all that well for you.

or Memphis. I'm struggling when it comes to attacking players at the moment. Others in the league are much better equipped.

Well thats obviously really not true Damien. You've still got the best talent by a country mile over the rest of us. :lol:

My attacking talent at the moment is Neymar and Firmino and thats it.

Might seem I've got the best talent now but in a few seasons time others will have the better talent. Some good signings made by some of you, just need another season or two to get in the groove like Renato Sanches
