I know that you get the usual idiots claiming that they could make it in these silly leagues but I'm convinced that I could have done a better effort in goal than the two clowns out there today. Whilst the standard continues to be this low there is no way that the rest of the world will embrace Chinese football. i watched the full game. it was terrible. Worse than the A-League. Pitch looked horrible too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted July 30, 2017 Administrator Share Posted July 30, 2017 amazing. they were never going to be able to sustain that model of chucking money at clubs/players and even more so with that tax that's just been introduced on the associations there.

Carnivore Chris Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Ruben Castro has already scored 3 in 2 out in China at 37 years old. To be honest, he still had something to offer in Spain for me and should have stayed at Betis for another season. He finally did slow down last season but like Aduriz, even at his age he knows where the net it. He will destroy this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 Quote Argentina forward Carlos Tevez is "overweight" and will not play for Shanghai Shenhua until he gets fit, says the club's new coach Wu Jingui. The 33-year-old is reportedly one of the world's highest-paid players but has only scored two goals in 12 games since making his debut in March. Wu, who took charge of the Chinese club after Gus Poyet quit on Monday, also criticised midfielder Fredy Guarin. "I need to be responsible to the team and to the players," said Wu. "Both [Tevez] and Guarin are overweight. When you are on the pitch, if you can't play at 100%, then it is completely meaningless." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41259482 Tevez taking life seriously in China I see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted January 10, 2018 Administrator Share Posted January 10, 2018 let's hope AVB's family can rally round him to wish him a full recovery https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/motorsport/42633218 Quote Former Tottenham and Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas withdrew from his first Dakar Rally after damaging his back during the fourth stage in Peru. The 40-year-old left his role as coach of Chinese side Shanghai SIPG in November to compete in his first rally. He was two hours 18 minutes and 50 seconds behind the leader after the third stage but on the next his Toyota Hilux hit a sand dune. Villas-Boas sustained no broken bones but was taken to hospital for checks. The 40th edition of the 14-stage race is based in Peru, which it last visited in 2013, for the opening five stages, using a route largely comprised of sand dunes, before moving to Bolivia and ending in Argentina on 20 January.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted December 26, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted December 26, 2018 Quique Sanchez Flores: China's Shanghai Shenhua appoint ex-Watford boss as manager 25 December 2018 | Football Former Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores has been named head coach of Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua. Sanchez Flores, 53, led Watford to 12th place in the Premier League and an FA Cup semi-final in 2015/16. The Spaniard, who has coached the likes of Benfica, Valencia and Atletico Madrid, was sacked by Espanyol in April after nearly two years in charge. His new club were seventh last season, 30 points behind winners Shanghai SIPG. The Chinese club has previously been managed by Gus Poyet, Nicolas Anelka and Howard Wilkinson. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46681153 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted January 8, 2019 Administrator Share Posted January 8, 2019 Mousa Dembele to move to China in £11m move https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46792282 Quote Tottenham midfielder Mousa Dembele is on the brink of completing an £11m move to Chinese Super League club Beijing Guoan. The Belgium international, 31, is out of contract in the summer and has not played for Spurs since injuring his ankle against Wolves in November. Chairman Daniel Levy is keen to trim players from manager Mauricio Pochettino's squad. Striker Vincent Janssen is also likely to leave during the January window. Dembele has made 243 Premier League appearances in total, scoring 12 goals and making 12 assists, having joined Spurs after two seasons at Fulham in 2012. He has 80 caps for Belgium and was part of the squad that finished third at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Netherlands international Janssen, 24, has scored just two goals in 28 Premier League appearances since joining from AZ Alkmaar in 2016 and spent last season on loan at Turkish club Fenerbahce. Considering he could move on a free in the summer, getting £11m for him now doesn't sound too bad. @Storts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storts Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Absolutely delighted, even if it leaves us thinner at the position, don’t rate him and don’t like him because of the ridiculous status he has amongst our fan base. Very overrated and getting £11 million is great with only 6 months left on his deal. Thanks for those one and a half good seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil-Dick Willie Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Fucking outstanding player in his prime. I always gave him mad props for never leaving Napoli, but part of me wished he moved to a Bayern/City/Arsenal at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 You could make the argument he was one of the 3 best number 10's in the world in his prime. He was a joy to watch. Particularly in Sarri's first 2 years, he was downright unplayable. Shame he couldn't win a Scudetto but props to him for always believing in the team instead of chasing the glory. The end of an era.

True Blue Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I understand how for example Graziano Pelle can leave for China at a late stage with no connection to his previous clubs. Hamsik is an Napoli legend, probably adored equally to Maradona at Naples. He certainly earned more than enough to live a good good life, are players not interested in legacy anymore?
