one chinese netizen said this photo was taken on november 6th. sooooo this deal was finalized few weeks ago already. and in part of this deal, li jianbin will be on loaned to shanghai shenhua for one year.
Hmm weird. I do think Feng Renliang will be good addition for Guangzhou. But where? Zhang Linpeng..where will he fit in with Feng at back?
feng renliang plays left/right winger and side midfielder. zhang linpeng plays right defence or center-defence so feng renliang won't have conflict with zhang linpeng, unless you mixed up feng renliang with feng xiaoting lol.
zhang linpeng in training. and wang dalei is now practicing with certain shanghai basketball team to get extra training.
CSL Transfers and Rumors: There seems to be interest from some CSL clubs for the Brazilian international, Elkeson, who is currently playing with Botafogo. http://sambafoot.com/en/news/39243_chinese_interest_in_elkeson.html Beijing Guoan seems to be interested in Jeonbuk Hyundai Motor's captain, Cho Sung-Hwan. He was targeted by Beijing during the Summer transfer period, but Jeonbuk really needed his service. His contract is coming to an end and might possibly move to Beijing since Jeonbuk has found more defensive reinforcements. http://sports.cn.yahoo.com/ypen/20121123/1446469.html http://news.china.com.cn/live/2012-11/23/content_17300034.htm Shandong Luneng's forward, Han Peng, may move to the K-League this winter. Pohang Steelers, the 2012 Korean FA Cup winner, have been sending scouts to observe a couple of times. http://sports.sina.com.cn/j/2012-11-24/07136308702.shtml http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/micro-reading/dzh/2012-11-24/content_7586915.html Shanghai Shenhua is reportedly interested in Al-Hilal's forward, Yoo Byung-Soo. Joel Griffiths will be leaving, so they want to fill the Asian quota replacement with Yoo. Yoo was the K-League top scorer in 2010.
han peng would be a nice short-term signing but it ultimately depends if he wants to leave his comfort zone in shandong. the guy speaks solely the shandong dialect and he holds high status in the team.
think i read somewhere that fuli tried to sign chen zhizhao since he's from guangdong but his parents said no! and it's not looking good for jiang ning at hengda =[ might trade him for zhang chenglin dont need him anymore since they have feng renliang i guess. lippi liked him...and then stopped liking him =[[[
zeng cheng is rumoured to join guangzhou evergrande on free transfer and also rumoured that "he would be loaned to spain after he joined evergrande"
confirmed: cho won-hee joining from evergrande to newly promoted wuhan zall. u-22's liu shangkun is joining wuhan zall too.
breaking news: (90% confirmed) dalian shide and aerbin will merge shanghai shenxin (originally relegated) is back in CSL.
I would be pretty angry if I was a Fujian supporter. They should promote a team for finishing third from top in CL1 and reward success rather than leaving Shanghai in who finished second from bottom, which rewards failure.
But you can't just suddenly start promoting teams that didn't secure a place via the league table. Promoting a side that came third might just make the league weaker than relegating a side that should have been relegated. It's a hard call, but finishing 3rd from top isn't a success if you had to come in the top two. The rules they would have known when the season was in play. Fujian were 8 points behind 2nd place, whereas Shanghai were 4 points off the team above them.
also china get 4 spots in the afc so guizhou is in! =] if they buy lampard then maybe more chinese teams will advance
urban legend: fujian didn't have the opportunity to have the play-off game against shenxin because CSL said fujian is not ready for promotion (citing financial reason)
although i think the lampard news is spectulation (like beckham coming to CSL too), lampard coming to china would be nice and more useful than beckham.
rumours: - conca is fed up with evergrande, he has left guangzhou with a note saying "thank you evergrande fans" - dunga, the brazilian coach, is rumoured to coach shandong
I don't believe the first statement. It was just a rumor that was put out by the Brazilian media. Nobody else reporting it except a couple of media personnel in Brazil.
CSL Transfers and Rumors: Fluminense are bidding for Conca. http://sambafoot.com/en/news/39494_...e_to_fund_return_of_dario_conca_-_report.html Guangzhou Evergrande are getting closer to signing Elkeson. http://sambafoot.com/en/news/39513_...o_completing_guangzhou_evergrande_switch.html
So, why would Shenxin be ready when they didn't finish in the top 14 places of the CSL? Ntg, thanks for the update about Fujian's financial status.
reading the news, i am wondering why the hell qatar still gets 4 automatic spots. i think uzbekistan and other leagues deserve more.
CFA needs to take alot of blame on for not having plan B/preparation on merging teams and surprises. the more you go into chinese football, the more facepalm you will have. now Yu Hongchen (some big dude in CFA) said in five years, CSL must override K-League. well didn't i hear that five years ago already?
