This player was apparently on our radar, as a possible replacement for Doucoure. https://www.clubcall.com/transfers/2019/02/11/china-based-star-on-watford-radar/
"But I was not so enthusiastic about it, the Spanish League and the English League do not suit me." Why? Because you're **** and lazy and so only suited to tertiary leagues?
Judging by Lisbon fans, they hate him. Most saying it’s like playing with a man less when he plays. One fan even went as far as saying he should be deleted from FIFA as he can’t possibly be a footballer. Thank goodness we didn’t sign him.
Looked like we forced Ighalo out, never any indication he wanted to go there. That tearful Sky Sports interview at London Colney seemed pretty clear that he didn't want to go.
On principle, China is a perfect Pozzo outlet. Rather indiscriminate overpayers. Slightly surprising that it hasn't been used more.
Not as much anymore sadly - their government imposed a 100% tax on overseas players which has somewhat stifled the flow of players heading there
Good point. I see Iggy arrived the season before this kicked in. Any leagues still overpaying? MSL? Gulf leagues?
