Fantastic.
Let's hope this derails their season.

Are you simple? The posts are literally right in front of you, it's clearly an argument between Mark and Binomal, yet you've got to carry on your obsession with Cloggy? Why?
Everyone around your breakfast table maybe.
He looooves Cloggy, that's why.
That's him everyday.binomial yesterday
So the question whether Chinese league is a threat to the Premier League have been answered rather emphatically, hasn't it? They took aim at the best striker from the first-place team and dangled so much money in front of him that he goes on strike mid-season and doesn't want to hear any more about the title race in England. As Liverpool fan, I appreciate a potential disruption to Chelsea's season, but let's not feel too happy about this because soon it's going to be our players being targeted.

It's almost as if money has ruined the game...
It is sickening when Pogba advertise for himself at Old Trafford.
The owner of Chinese Super League (CSL) side Tianjin Quanjian has scrapped plans to sign Chelsea striker Diego Costa, according to reports in China.
Shu Yuhui told Tianjin TV that he has decided not to target the likes of Costa, Karim Benzema, Radamel Falcao and Edinson Cavani after the number of foreigners allowed in CSL squads was reduced from four and one Asian to just three.
Quoted in the South China Morning Post, Shu said: "This situation has brought a change to our signing plans.
“The online reports about Costa, it’s true we’d like him, and we made an offer for Cavani and were deep in negotiations.”
BBC Sport understands Chelsea have no intention of selling Costa amid reports the striker is a transfer target of Chinese clubs.
It might actually be a good thing for the Premier League that they have competition.... at least then we wont buy hundreds of foreigners instead of blooding our own youngsters.
I for one am fed up of the amount of foreign moneygrabbers getting chances over young lads who deserve a chance in the game.

The only problem with this gif is that it doesn't take a quantum leap to imagine Binomial as being retard.
My apologies to any retards out there.
The way these clubs are owned by companies are in some way similar to Red Bull bankrolling the likes of RB Leipzig & RB Salzburg or to a lesser extent, Wolfsburg - Volkswagen and Stuttgart - Mercedes-Benz.
Dated 2016:
[article]For a long time now, the focus of a number of solvent companies has been on soccer – until now especially in Europe: The Wanda Group has a 20 percent stake in Atletico Madrid and automotive manufacturer Rastar is the majority owner of Espanyol Barcelona. Together with his partners, media billionaire Li Ruigang has invested 400 million euros in Manchester City, and energy company CEFC bought Slavia Prag outright.
The patrons of the CSL are likewise major companies or rich private individuals. For example, billionaire Jack Ma has invested millions in series champion Guangzhou Evergrande. Yet the founder of online platform Alibaba has admitted he can’t do anything with soccer.
The Wanda Group is now not only an investor in Atletico Madrid, but is sponsoring the CSL as well. The owner of Wanda is Wiang Jianlin, whose estimated net worth of 33 billion euros makes him the richest man in China.
When it came to transfer expenses for winter 2016, the big bucks were spent by Jiangsu Suning FC. The club belongs to the Suning Commerce Group, which operates thousands of electric companies in China. Its founder, Zhang Jindong, is a member of an advisory committee for the Chinese government.
And heavy investments were made in the second league as well: The company Quanjian Natural Medicine invested in Tianjin Quanjian. And money has been thrown around ever since. For the sake of comparison: The 16 clubs in China’s second league spent more this transfer period than the Bundesliga’s 18 clubs.
In addition to these billionaires and their companies – just like in the Premier League – a TV deal has been made to cover the necessary financial means: Li Ruigang, owner of China Media Capital, invested 1.2 billion euros in the broadcasting rights in China for the next five years – an astronomical sum when you consider that, according to Forbes, the league gave away the TV rights for a little over seven million euros in 2014.

Maybe you then understand how most of the middle east feels about the US government and US army.
Oh my fucking god, I can't believe that's an actual quantum leap episode, the fucking 80s man haha
Realistically, as much as I despise the mercenary element of gobshites like Costa and Payet, it’s probably unrealistic to expect them to show loyalty to clubs and fans that they have no affiliation towards. It’ll all be forgotten in a few months and they’ll have banked shitloads more cash so, who cares?
For the majority of players, that’s what football is largely about these days; a transient relationship with an otherwise unknown and fairly unimportant set of fans, a few group sex sessions and a massive load of cash in the bank to spend on prozzies, drugs and cars.

Man, I'd love to be a footballer.
Fuck him, and fuck Chelsea.
Tough call for Costa. Sell out, get rich playing in a soulless stadium full of wealthy pricks with no football knowledge. Or go to China
Would you live for long enough to appreciate the pain after being hit by one of those?If you aim slightly lower - it will be far more painful.
Use these babies:
Depends where you hit someone ...
Well, obviously. It would be a lot more painful to be hit in the leg than hit between the eyes. I know where I would rather be hit if faced with the choice.
