I would suggest theres very littke chance Guangzhou has actually paid that much. Regardless, it's a super weird transfer. I guess he must love playing here, idk why else it would happen. Money. He signed for Barca to make the WC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think his move to Barca was just to get that chance. Ramires, Hulk, Oscar, Alex Teixeira all missed out. Only Renato Augusto made it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drd23 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Pretty sure Renato Augusto is the only Brazilian to make a WC squad while playing in China in the last 12 months, but there are obviously players from other countries that have too (i.e. Yannick Carrasco (Belgium), Odin Ighalo & John Obi Mikel (Nigeria), Javier Mascherano (Argentina) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazil have a plethora of talent. Tevez left China in the hope of a call up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kip Smithers Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I did say that it was not a forgone conclusion that Conte would be gone and we are at the start of July and hes still here taking charge of our training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilenFroggen Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Axel Witzel must be amazing. He seems to only make big money moves (Russia, now China) and yet he always starts for Belgium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drd23 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Such a weird signing. Was rumoured to be signing with clubs like Barca, Milan and Chelsea 12 months ago and now he signs for a newly promoted EPL side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
