That's a relief. I was a little tender over him going to China. Guess Hernanes isn't going anywhere.

also I think a lot of the anger towards the Chinese league is them robbing leagues people actually watch of decent players.

yeah but who cares. Why shouldn't there be a decent league outside of Europe? It's not going to be perfect immediately

Juve spent 32 million on him, Arsenal have spent more than that precisely three times in their history.

How many times has Juve spent more? Genuinely curious

Cohen Bramall - Arsenal's unlikely new recruit - is attempting to sum up a whirlwind few weeks.

One minute the 20-year-old is working at a car plant while playing part-time for Hednesford Town in the Northern Premier League, the next he's training at a Premier League club.

"I was working in Crewe for Bentley Motors," he tells BBC Sport.

"I was on the production line, filling up cars with gasses, brake fluid, washer fluid and all that. Day in day out, Monday to Friday, 6.30am until 5.15pm.

"I enjoyed it but when you're doing those shifts, then training on Tuesday and Thursday, going from Crewe to Birmingham, and playing on Saturday it's pretty tiring."

But his busy schedule hit a setback just days before Christmas.

"I got made redundant by Bentley on the Tuesday [20 December], which was crazy because I didn't know what I was going to do," he explains.

"I needed a full-time wage coming in, not a part-time wage from Hednesford, so I started thinking of getting a new job."

The following day, however, his world was turned upside down.

"My agent rings me on the Wednesday saying you've got a trial at Arsenal," Bramall recalls. "I was like 'what?' - I was gobsmacked.

"He said pack your stuff and get to this postcode, so I packed all my stuff in about an hour, got there as fast as I could, slept for a bit, then the next minute I'm in training with the first team.

"It was crazy how quick everything happened, how I met everyone and they just took me straight in. I had to take the opportunity with both hands."

In the 7th tier in England, do they? I genuinely don't know. I would have guessed they wouldn't have considering they aren't even full time footballers.

I think that young footballers trying to play professionally all have agents.
