Chinese Super League

[irani8perspolis]

Insane winter so far for the CSL. And we thought the Arab's were rich...... do you guys think this mass investment is good or bad for asian football? CSL is pulling ahead of MLS with these transfers. Biggest transfers so far:

Jackson Martinez - Atletico Madrid to Guangzhou Evergrande - € 42 million

Stephane M'Bia - Trabzonspor to Hebei China Fortune - Undisclosed

Gervinho - AS Roma to Hebei China Fortune - € 18 million

Ramires - Chelsea to Jiangsu Sainty - € 33 million

Freddy Guarin - Inter to Shanghai Shenhua - € 11 million

Elkeson - Guangzhou Evergrande to Shanghai SIPG - € 19 million

Alex Teixeira - Shakhtar Donetsk to Jiangsu Sainty - € 50 million

Hamash dalal bazie. Poole dolato karkhoonehaye doolati ro inja haroom mikonan magasa ham hame hamle kardan. Almost every foreign player is ridiculously overpriced which shows there are a lot of corruptions and agent side deals. This is usually a red flag for a league.

Chinese businessmen are not idiots, they are shrewd. There are definitely more things going along this.

Damn. Those are big names. I am not happy about this as it will make much more difficult for our teams to win ACL.

On the other hand it would be good for those players from Iran that can make it to Chinese league. They will have a better shot at making it to a European team.

The better the ACL gets, the better it is for us!

That money could of gone towards resources. They will get nowhere with this.

Yaya Toure also has a monster offer from China, it will be insane if he moves there too.

It's funny, Don Garber the president of MLS, was asked about the CSL and he brushed them off and said they aren't close to the MLS level. But, now the CSL made signings so big the MLS couldn't even dream of them.

He was a true goalgetter for FC Porto in the Liga NOS. I think the playing style in Spain didn't suit him.

These are business tactics. They are just doing this to get several results

1. Make big and loud announcements about their league to draw attention to themselves.
2. To show they have money and willing to pay to whoever transfer there so they break the resistance of the players to go there.
3. The lucrative deals make many international players greedy and rush to the CSL but they should settle for more modest deals.
4. Expensive deals make the league look like high quality in transfermarkt and other websites.
5. They have invested massively on coverage and sponsorship so they want to have viewers and pay back.
6. They are swapping players as a part of the deal and this way they show they can transfer players to European leagues something J-League, K-League, A-League and IPL have been doing in lower degree. It is an expanding business and gives pay back when people transfer there in hope of Europe just like PAG. When that happen they take their share of the deal.

It will do nothing to help their own development.
Jorge Mendes will be very happy though.

[EKBATAN]

yea exactly as KC said....this will not help them in anything. There have been top dollar players that went to china, russia, turkey and greece in the past and it does absolutely NOTHING to improve their league. people dont care about any league other than top 4.....even france and portugal have a hard time and theyre pretty close to top 4

they just have to realize no one gives a shit or has time to follow leagues other than their own country and top 4

The east Asians will watch it. that's big enough of a market.

Some countries just dont have the passion and culture. You cant force that by bringing handful of known players.

yea exactly as KC said....

Where?
