Liverpool fan wants Costa away and Chelsea unsettled before Anfield game in late Jan........shocker.

In all honesty, China isn't going to hurt the Prem.
What they are right now is the MLS, or Russia a few years back. Signing some good, if older players, or average players with big names (Oscar) for silly money to play against amateurs.
Russia was a concern because there was a chance of them being the footballing superpower in Europe.
To premier league clubs, when players move to China they effectively retire, because Chinese football has zero impact on European football.
And to have a product that matches the premier league, you'd be talking about China buying upwards of 400 players to make a competitive league. So tv money isn't going away anytime soon.
Only the arrogant English think this won't impact on the game . This is a world market and is conytilled by money and agents. If a Chinese club offer a layer twice what a European club offers ... the player will be in China. So, how does this not impact on the EPL and every other league ???
Costa is staying at Chelsea😑
I see now Madrid's James is being linked with a 95M move to China and our very own snodgrass knocked back back 80K a week.
Anyone wanna write up a good football CV and become my agent and perhaps we can scam these bestarrds to a few bob hahahahaha!
I've got some left fit, 6;4ft can run like fook, and play anywhere hahahaha!

It was on the Sunday Suplement today that he hates English football and wants a move away
I honestly don't know what the issue is here.
China is doing exactly what Italian football did in the 80s and early 90s
English football had done since.
Simply paid more than any other league can for what ever players they wanted.
If Costa or anyone else takes the cash and goes..then we'll done them.
Unlike some I don't have an issue with the performer's making the money from the show.
It's them we pay to see.
As long as they pay their taxes who cares what they earn?
If clubs are stupid enough to pay it and lose money, we'll that's their fault not the players.
As to effecting Scotland...TV revenue in Scotland is about 5 to 10 % of total revenue.
Sore to lose but not a disaster.
If the English lost theirs then ops but a real disaster.

It will have an impact probably increase the Asian thirst for the EPL
Probably mean more tv money next time
I predict in 20 years time they'll be playing PL games over in China.
China has v little football infrastrucure though (and i mean grass roots through divisions etc.)
Take an awful long time to do that which.means it threatens to be a bit of a ahort term thing. Starting top down (buying superstars) is a v risky way to do it...
Look at middle east - hasnt happened for them despite some big names in the past.

I dunno.. When the government backs anything in China, sh!t tends to happen at a fairly rapid rate.
Just look at their Olympics medal hauls from 1988 to where they are now.
In 28 years they went from relative obscurity to never dropping out the top 3.
