mad_mac Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Are you serious?? If you were paid 40k a week for a 10 year career you'd earn 20m over your career. Where I come from that's being 'set up for life' In China they'll earn 3 or 4 times that, even more so. It's greed, whilst playing in a piss poor standard league. As much as I agree with this sentiment somewhat, you're also making an assumption that the player is going to last 10 years. That's not always a given. It is easy to see how players can have their head's turned...and you've also got to add the agent factor into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By putting the agent into this just backs up my argument that it's a move based on greed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, again, you are assuming that a player is going to last 10 years. 40k a week, etc. But you've not taken in taxes, cost of living, the players seeing what others are making, etc. I agree that a move to China is more than likely money based, but if you were a player, you know that one injury can end it all, and someone comes knocking that will set you and future generations up for life, I'm pretty sure you'd take it.

AndyBlue82 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Drogs and Nico went to China. Look how that turned out. These players could be back in Europe within 12 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutos Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Drogs and Nico went to China. Look how that turned out. These players could be back in Europe within 12 months They will be at a cheaper price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBlue82 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 The issue was that they regularly didn't get paid. Chances are Teixeira is on more money then DD so it could well be a problem. More than likely it won't matter but worth mentioning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnIrishTrueBlue Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Id have gone to China too, an easier, more comfortable life for alot more money, no brainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFCholland Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I would definitely rather play in one of Europe's top leagues. This move shows he has no sporting ambition whatsoever. I don't think players here can complain about their salary either by the way.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
