Was about to say this. The other side of the island is amazing!
He was in the Seychelles last week.Millionaire goes to Ibiza for a honeymoon? Erm.
Stop insisting with BBC, rotate isco and asensio in the AM role and have Bale, Cristiano, Benzema rotate in the two striker roles. With Lucas Vazquez as well, and both Cris and Benzema able to play the CF role, the ideal for the final spot would be someone like Mariano or Borja Mayoral, someone who knows he won't play much but can contribute during an emergencyWhat direction you hoped? His clause is 6m €, we can buy him, sell him to Juve with some buy back clause and sell to United for 80m€ in 2020
Those rotations can work during a couple of games but then it would start to have problems, if they stay too long in the bench. I do not know what to think about Borja Mayoral, he has had a very bad loan, and staying maybe he´ll lose another year
I called this months ago. Was always going to end up in China for me. In fact, I reckon the Chinese league will be full of African players who are nowhere near over the hill yet. Money is too good.
Can't imagine many footballers would turn down 600k a week TBFMoving to China at 28. He'll be another mercenary.
Chinese league is shite the bubble will soon burst
I was fortunate to work there for 6 months some years ago, living on the east coast. Got to see the whole Island in that time, the north especially is a million miles from what people "know" of Ibiza.
Was watching a Chinese Super League match on Sky Sports Mix the other day. He would shit so hard on that league The Great Wall would tremble.
Whoever we'd sign there, barring long term injuries would barely see the pitch. I didn't mean we should bring back Borja or keep Mariano, i meant we'd need someone like that, someone who knows he's going to play very little and is fine with it and can contribute as a stop gap option. Chicharito from 14/15 was also good in that regard
Sandro, i'd be surprised if he accepted such a role
They can move to China when they're done with football at the end of their career, and the offers from there won't stop anyway as long as they have financial power, but at the age of 28 he should be thinking about his career more than his money.
He's coming towards the end of his career, he'd be foolish to not think about taking the money.
28 isn't the end of his career. He still has good 3-4 year in him at the highest level.
He has no international career, Madrid (his dream don't want him), and he seems desperate to leave Dortmund for money. May as well increase the amount of years making insane money (wish Rooney did the same)
I said he's coming towards the end of his career. Not that he's finished.
Well isn't it logical to move to a big club now for 3 years then move to China at, say, 31 years old ?
Isn't he already at a relatively big club?
Nope. BVB isn't gonna give him any shot at a league or a CL title. They're considered a step to a much bigger club.
Depends if his overaching career goal was to make as much money as possible, or if it was to stay in a team that are becoming perennial also-rans. There goes our shot at selling Rooney for big bucks.
I'm not trying to be negative but it's just been so slow. If we had signed Griezmann, I would have been okay until July
Don't give me this shite. Most clubs have been moving in and getting their targets in before the window has opened.
Exactly what he's doing. Over the 30s, scratching his eggs, getting paid 300k a week.
Yeah they're not Madrid/Barca/United etc. but they're still a big club.
He's approaching his final years and probably thinking about his life after football and who can blame him? I'm certainly not gonna blame him for deciding that being paid 30 million per year in China is a bad move. It's not like he's moving there for an extra 50k or something, that's a considerable amount of money for one year.
Millionaire goes to Ibiza for a honeymoon? Erm.
Clearly never spent any time in Ibiza. Or in the daylight anyway.
Ibiza is a beautiful island.
Just for City fans amid Alves's imminent transfer.

Nothing too controversial there. To be honest even most City fans probably didn't know Manchester had two teams 5-10 years ago.
There's no guarantee the Chinese will still want him at 31. And if they do, they may not pay him $30 million per year. $120 million (assuming a 4 year deal) is a hell of a lot of mullah. Plus, he can bring his whole family, including cousins to the 3rd degree, to live with him in China for a small fraction of that money, and they all live like royalty.
Chinese are not dumb, no way they are paying an outrageous salary to a turd.
I doubt City fans will care about any of that shit seeing as though these are the same set of fans that gave second chances to the likes of Tevez, Balotelli and Yaya Toure. It's a match made in heaven really.
Also the same set of fans that got this catchy chant going:
Only to think he is the best thing since sliced bread if they lose under Guardiola.
Their fans have no loyalty to any of their players or managers, and neither do the players seem to have any particular loyalty to them. It's a match made in heaven when you think about it, really.
Brozovic and 21m in a same sentence! World gone mad!
Doesn't he have a phone? Or an agent to do the work of forcing a move?
I see what you did there. Rooney
3 years at €30m instead of €10m will have you retire €60m richer, most people wouldn't have to think twice.
Also after PSG pulled out the next best club in line for him was Liverpool, he might have as good a shot at winning titles with Tianjin. On top of that being one of the first players to earn a legendary status in a fast growing and gigantic market like China might prove very valuable in the future.
I doubt many of their players had heard of them until they got the cash anyway, like Anzhi or some of the Chinese clubs.
