Who Can We Sell To The Chinese That Will Go There

[redhorizon2]

Alberto - questionable that they'll ever take him
Balo - will he go to China?
Benteke - will he go to China?
Lucas - would they take him?
Milner- would he go to China?
Allen - would he go to China?
Also, seeing that China is overpaying at the moment, come summer time lots of clubs will try to offload players good and bad in the summer meaning Chinese clubs may not need to pay the premium they are now.

Balotelli has to be the most likely. He'd earn a shitload, be feted and be a big fish in a small pond.

I bet Kolo's agent is on the case too for one last payday.

They're making an effort to sign players at their peak though, or in their late twenties at least. Kolo's more of a candidate for MLS.

Balotelli is the only one I think we'd have a chance at selling.

 

[manwithnoname]

The players going there for the money all seem to be African or Brazilian.

 

[willby]

China in our hands.. nicked that from bbc sports😀

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Balotelli for 35 million - it just makes sense if from a marketing point of view as per Arn.

No one else will go - maybe Coutinho for 100 mill.

 

[Ryan]

Ross.

Imagine the marinades, herbs, spices, and peking sauce they'd fucking roll him around in.

 

[Mystic]

I wouldn't be surprised to see a big offer for Sturridge if he returns and plays well.

 

[kingjulian]

It would be nice to sell sturridge for 50m

 

[cloggypop]

Lucas could realise his potential as an attack minded midfielder over there and score about 20 a season.

 

[mom]

We need an end of season tour there

So far, but an interesting observation if you're suggesting part of a Chinese charm offensive in certain parts of the world.

 

[Mors]

Every single last one of them, if the money is right.

Or players who don't give a fuck about anything other than how much money they can make

 

[Silver Sean]

What a waste of a career and lack of ambition.

 

[manwithnoname]

Yeah, fuck him.

 

[redhorizon2]

After the Euro's would be best time to sell Milner. Great squad player but getting on a bit and on seriously large wages. £15m please Mr Xui.

 

[Frogfish]

What a waste of a career and lack of ambition.

Really. I'm sure we could have paid him whatever he is on there and he's killed his chances of playing for the national team. Shaktar are happy though, how did they persuade him to move there, threaten knee-capping or worse ?

 

[Judge Jules]

I'm guessing it was the Chinese who did the persuading, via a nice undeclared wedge paid into a cosy little account in the Caymans, allegedly of course.

 

[Hansern]

Balotelli

Maybe Lucas (but not for much money)

Lavezzi on his way to China aswell

This, unfortunately, is almost certainly true.

In no way is Kolo a candidate for MLS. The technical standard isn't particularly high but the fitness and travel would tear him apart.
