Are FIFA going to do something about this Chinese super league stuff?

What do you mean "do something? "

There's nothing illegal about paying high wages. The Chinese league is run I'm sure under the Asian football federation part that operates under FIFA and even if it didn't that's not illegal either. The U. K. , Spain, Germany, Italy etc. do not have a divine right to be the biggest leagues in the world. Players will obviously go play somewhere they can play for a few years and have their retirement setup in such a short time. It's what any person would do.

Well Costa has spat the dummy out. He is willing to give up a Prem league winners medal because China has flirted! Didn't think this would happen to Chelsea since Abramovich took over. Just. Too. Funny.

Ed,
I heard you get paid one kebab per week to edit this site.

But, do the same job in China and it's 7 kebabs per week.

Surely a no brainer?

£30m a year after tax, almost any player would move for that amount. I wondered why Chelsea were after Llorente, now it makes sense. Hopefully this disruption will open the door for us to catch Chelsea.

I almost feel sorry for Chelsea! Oh wait maybe not because you live by the sword you die by the sword . But I do feel for the fans . It's hard to find players with integrity in this day and age. I liked what klopp said about why players should move. Everyone knows costa is a bell end, it's no surprise.

Hi Ed,

Any chance of Arsenal recalling Jack Wilshere from Bournemouth?

Cheers,

{Ed001's Note - why would they even want to?}

I don't believe there is a break in his loan deal. However, I haven't been overimpressed with him during his time at Bournemouth. He is playing 'safe' to avoid injury and unfortunately he looks a shadow of the player he once was. Once back from International duty, I like Elneny alongside Xhaka. In the meantime either Ramsey or Ox could play alongside Xhaka or Coquelin, once he returns from injury.

No is the answer I think you're looking for AA23. Wenger wouldn't be able to even if he wanted to I don't think.

Thanks for the replies,

Although I agree he hasn't been exactly setting the EPL on fire, we're a bit short with Santi out for a couple more months and I think he could help us in midfield.

Would prefer Payet though :p

No we don't need him back at Arsenal unless the treatment room have taken in some trainees and they are short on work experience.
He's cost Arsenal a fortune in salary he's record is diabolical and his attitude off the field is a p155 take.
He's hardly set Bournemouth alight! .

{Ed025's Note - but he could...if hes careless with his cigarette ends lanesra.. :)
