that would have been something. Now, if he gets United Top 4 this yr, he looks sure to stay on for next.
Holy shite. Defense - what defense? More crazy scores today in the Prem. LFC came back from 1 - 0 down to Palace to take it 4 - 3! wildly entertaining match. Wolves 4 - 3 Leicester and Chelski are in shambles atm w/o proper striker. Lost 2 - 0 to L'Arse.
Choi Kang-hee might join another Chinese side, Dalian Yifang. Choi Kang-hee was their second choice after Dalian failed to sign Leonardo Jardim. 3 year contract and estimated $10 million annually. More than what Tianjin was going to pay him ($7.5 million annually). Dalian are owned by the Wanda Group, so they definitely won't have any financial problems. https://sports.news.naver.com/kfootball/news/read.nhn?oid=382&aid=0000703975
lol China. Over 1.4 billion ppl. Nico Yennaris and John Hou Sæter have featured Beijing Guoan in their friendly against HNK Rijeka. It indicates that their registration as Chinese players for the upcoming season will be completed soon. pic.twitter.com/BNloKZ3kI0— Titan Sports (@titan_plus) January 21, 2019
Who in the right mind would become a naturalised Chinese citizen??? There's currently an ongoing exodus of foreign nationals there. NOT somewhere you want to live.
Terrible news : https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jan/22/cardiff-city-emiliano-sala-missing-plane-channel "Emiliano Sala, the Argentinian footballer who signed for Cardiff City last Saturday, was on a private plane that disappeared near the Channel Islands on Monday evening"
Sadly, I think he already passed away. What sadness. He let a vocal message on whatsapp when he was in that plane saying he was really afraid for his safety, he had the feeling the board was going to crumble. Before boarding, he told to his teammate, his concerns about the flight security : he already has done this travel with the same plane to sign his contract with Cardiff and wasn't relieved at all. I really don't know why Cardiff gave him that tiny and light plane for this travel, why taking such risks when you can take flights with an airbus from Paris ?
Honestly I'm not sure. Maybe he's just painfully unaware. I mean I get he's an international superstar and super busy, but whoever is running his social media should have known better. Super cringey either way.
Got nothing against Wu Lei or any other Kung Fu soccer variant. But this made me laugh: "Wu was compared to Argentina legend Diego Maradona by the coach who discovered him and made his senior debut for Shanghai aged 14 years and 287 days in 2006."
Well Beckenbauer thought he was among the 20 best players in the world at one time with the likes of Messi and Ronaldo so....
