i just saw martinez deal this morning for 42 m euros WTF???? he started only 15 games for atletico and scored 2 goals and wasn't on small wages too.....a propper WTF it's happening with that league.....

It's government mandated from the very top.

The Chinese government wants to control the global game.

Don't forget, CFG got a big infusion of Chinese cash as did Atletico...

Whilst the Chinese economy has stalled ( dragging the worlds finance with it ) the country now seems to be on a fast track to embrace the world of football. With the recent investment from China in CFG watch this space.

Some Beijing club is trying to lure Lavezzi as well. Money talks.

Rene Mulensteen spoke about it last night on 5Live

China is a great country and if someone offered my 5x my wages to work there I would be off like a shot. That said, I can't see those players being there in 18 months, more for the sake of their international career than anything else

Well they can't spend it all on building a coal fired power station every week and making fake MINI's

I agree with the previous poster this will end up with players flying in - doing 12 months for the dosh - then leaving for the sake of their careers.

Teixeira gone €50m

Christ, I pray one of them actually does come in for Yaya in the summer.

When they're paying £38M for texeria and £25M for Ramires how much would we realistically get for Yaya?
