If were just throwing theories out there, the obvious one is that it's the Chinese club owners conspiring with the players' agents and using the transfer to evade China's currency controls.

My conspiracy theory has always been that these clubs are backed by the Chinese government, that the government tells them to get big name players, and that the fact that they'll actually have to pay these players gets lost in the shuffle.

Make a guaranteed salary of a fuckton and gently caress your way through Madrid or go to China, maybe get paid a couple times and die of boredom and smog, hmmm

Plus staying in Madrid is probably worth a ton of money in endorsements to Ronald.

Other points:

Zaha is garbage.

Anderson was first choice for United a decade ago, and he's somehow only 28 and is complete garbage.

Does anyone in here watch the Asian CL? I wonder if these teams are actually any good, even if just in the frame of their continental opponents. Like, are they as good as the top Japanese or Korean teams?

I did some light googling and Guangzhou evergrande have won it two of the last four years, so I guess they're doing well.

Also according to the Guardian, United have turned down a 19m bid from Everton for Schneiderlin. Seems a bit weird since he's done gently caress all since United bought him for what feels like forever ago.

his last season was his best ever in England I think? It was def better than any of his west ham seasons and he's better than anyone we've got


Cresswell and Antonio, p much everyone ever signed under Moyes, Dele Alli, Lallana should've been an obvious one a long time ago, lower leagues are always a handy source of talent. Six months before starting for Man U smalling was playing for margate and getting ready for uni.

I wasn't really trying to make points with either of these things, except that Carl Jenkinson is bad and Jermain Defoe is 34 years old.

Torino's president said today that they turned down an offer from Arsenal for Belotti. The rumored offer was €65m, he just signed a new deal with a €100m clause.

Yeah this is suddenly everywhere. It'd be very surprising unless Alexis was going to leave soon. It feels a bit like Torino's president could just be trying to talk up Belotti's value.

Yes. They send a player out to a club and then normally have to essentially pay a fee to recall the player. What I was missing from this was Chelsea apparently had a recall clause for the month of January built into the loan deal.

Players don't normally get recalled from loans unless they're not playing and getting sent back out. I don't know why the gently caress I put quotes around immediate effect so my bad for that.

Apparently he's done pretty well at the mouth, and they're recalling him because he's good enough to provide cover for their depleted defense.

Do Arsenal need another attacking midfielder

It's an area where they could stand to improve. Sanchez moving to the center means that there's really only iwobi and then a bunch of trash for that left midfield position. Plus Arsenal need to get some goals coming from somewhere other than Sanchez.
