Why is there always a meltdown by football fans whenever Chelsea make a sale?
Because it always seems to be for a fee that screams "BENT".
Oscar to Shanghai SIPG for £60 million

Chinese are ruining the transfer market. They clearly impact other leagues with their irrational spending. I´m still mad they paid 13M for some Bremen striker, whose name I forgot, while Darmstadt got just 3M for Wagner, although Wagner is much better than the striker whose name I forgot. But now Bremen had an additional 10M in funds for that player, while broke ass Darmstadt got virtually nothing for Wagner. Wagner has 7 goals and 2 assists for Hoffenheim, while shitty striker has I don´t how many goals for I don´t know what club in I don´t know what league.
I can imagine you thought the Qatar world cup decision, general world cup bidding, and Man City using a sister company to sponsor them for a huge fee were 100% legit too.
"Nothing to see here"

I dislike Chelsea as much as most, but we aint exactly helping by hyping the top end wage up with the Pogba signing!
Fat feck.
I've never been impressed by Oscar, but I guess you've watched him a lot more than me.
feck me he's buff. Anthony Joshua, big KDB is coming for you!
This news coming after Conte's press conference this morning in which he refused to guarnetee that Fabregas will stay beyond January has me thinking if he has a big target he wants in midfield.
There's a certain little Italian beast in Paris that he knows well...
I actually wouldn't be surprised if you got him. There's something going on between your owners, that's the only explanation for all that David Luiz business.
The FA should spend their time investigating Chelsea's sales of players. But then again, maybe they are in on it too. Coincedence that Chelsea get a fine today, make it look like they are against Chelsea, but in reality, they are profiting from dodgy transfer deals.
He's so bloody average it's untrue, 60 million!!
But there's no point when he will probably receive more for three years in China than he will receive for 20 years at one of them, and besides he will still be young enough to return to European top tier football after 2-3 years of Chinese exile.
There is nothing dodgy about this deal. Chinese have been throwing around absurd money.
Besides if these transfer sums are not real and just get reported by Chelsea as real, what's the gain?
Their common sense is definitely dodgy.
If tomorrow a story comes out saying they want Rooney for £80m will people here still cry fowl and say it's fishy? Of course not. You'd be creaming yourselves.
Here is the best plan of action, buy a dodgy Brazilian, sell him to China!!
We mucked up with Rafael and Anderson, if we'd waited a year we'd have received huge sums.

Why is it so "dodgy" that a Chinese club, who (a lot of) have massively overspent on almost every signing, have now overspent on Oscar? It isnt. There is a pattern with their clubs
I can understand Mata's fee, even Luiz to some extent considering the lack of top class CBs, but this is unreal. Chelsea must have a book of dirt on everyone.
Shanghai are nuts though. AVB loves Oscar too. Hulk they signed in summer for something astronomical too
If there was a similar pic of one of our players, there would be a 50 page thread on the obesity epidemic at Manchester United and their lack of dedication.
haha unbelievable shout. Dead ringer.
This thread could be retitled "Oscar retires from competetive football".....what a waste, surely he could have went to a team in Spain or Germany.
Still only 25. Can consider this a lengthy holiday where he can earn global superstar wages and move back to a European club in a couple of years if he's still good.
Two years out of top level football will make it very hard to get back in at any EL lervel club IMO, it's not like he's so good that teams will be following his progress in a dead end league.
Yeah, I doubt he'll ever play for a big club again but I'm sure clubs on that second tier would take a
punt on him.
Crazy offer, and I'm sure its partnered with crazy wages. Not to mention the possible attraction of China (not saying it compares to London, just personal preference).
I don't think the deal will happen. I'm sure Shanghai would bite Chelsea's hand off, and Chelsea vice versa. I just can't see Oscar going to china. Quality player on his day, would be able to find himself other clubs across Europe.
Depends on his motivation. If the bookies start accepting odds, I will gladly have a cheeky flutter on him staying away from China.

I hope this is the case.
But i think there is a big chance it will happen too.
Dario Conca (Brazilian) plays there, they probably have talk and Conca is a pioneer of players at their peak going to China, and probably has only good things to say.
Conca went there in 2011 and was making 12 million dollars back in 2011 (more than Messi i think), so imagine how good are gonna be the wages for a player with a higher ceiling than Conca.
Also, Conca went back to Brazil but only stayed one season. Went back to China after 1 year, so i can only imagine its not a bad place to play football.
Hopefully its not the case. Oscar could be great in Serie A, Spain...
Yeah, the money and lifestyle would be very attractive. Like you and many others, I hope he stays somewhere in Europe. Can be a very enjoyable player to watch when on topform.
If John Stones is worth 50m....
I reckon I've got to be worth a couple of hundred grand in China. I'd wanna give up this pizza lark and get out there with my old puma kings.
I would've jumped on this offer had I been Oscar, lets see if he lacks ambition as much as I do.
I bet Winston Bogarde is quite angry China was a non-entity when he was still "playing".

Might actually go to watch some games at this rate.
It probably won't happen and Man Utd aren't owned by a crook.
Well when world best highest-paid football player is Lavezzi, there is nothing to be surprised
This is not an issue of shady transfer dealings. Quite frankly, it's simply about finding decent players who are willing to make the move to China. If Rooney, Fellaini, or any of our other "expendable" players agreed to the move, we'd see some ridiculous fees as well.
Are living conditions in China that bad that players need such obscene amounts thrown at them to be convinced to come? @Keenst What kind of wages are you on?
I'm well compensated for the hardship of living in one of the best cities in the world. Honestly, Shanghai is great. Can only imagine how good it would be for someone on wages like Oscar's.
I am not worried. For every player they can sell, Woody can sign 20 official partners.
I call BS. Why would they bid 60m when it is obvious chelsea would accept less for a player that has stalled and not really need much anymore?
It's Oscar wages they would need to throw the big bucks at, to convince him to actually join.

Isn't he rather young to retire?
Didn't a Chinese club buy teixiera for 40/50mil this summer? There idea of a negotiation seems to involve sending the other team's negotiator into shock with their first offer.
