Will it ever really become popular amongst the 'people'?
It's a common thing to hear in England that the clubs and the players are detached from the fans and football has become unpalatable to the 'common man'.
How will it work in China? I believe the stadiums are empty, that will never produce a good product.
Your average Chinese fella is probably far too busy trying to forge a living to want to pay relative fortunes to in the main watch has beens play a sport they're not overly familiar with.
As some have said, the US threw money at it, it didn't work, it's now a lot more organic and the fans and participants are growing.
They tried it a little in Russia, big silly money for players. But many didn't like it and the fans didn't really care.
As some have said, there's soon likely to be rules that limit overseas players or highly incentivise domestic talent.
Not many fans want to watch mismatches, Costa and Hulk being marked by two appalling defenders isn't entertaining.
People love European football because of its history, its culture, its variety, its contrasts in style, its competitiveness.
I think many players will cash in, but Chelsea seem to have a few with that money mentality, personally I don't see Kompany, Silva, Zabaleta and the likes leaving for China.
I can't see the very best going at their peak.
