thanks guys =] i m actually considering working in china being here for not even 2 weeks i love it already. i kinda wanna find out where the chengdu blades are at so i can watch a game and get their jerseys!
The Blades play in the Chengdu Sports Centre. Be sure to call them first during business hours at 86-28-85731777 (they usually will have someone there that speaks English if you need it) to make sure the schedule is accurate. You can view their schedule at http://www.soccerway.com/teams/china-pr/chengdu-blades. Let us know how it goes if you get to go to a game. Keep in mind that Lifan and Chonqing FC aren't that far away. Also, Sichuan FC plays in China League Two.
I shoulda been there a few months ago, instead my family went there whilst I stayed in London to finish off my essays and dissertations....poo....especially when my family had 'guan xi' there and got some nice hospitality treatment.
im gonna buy a guangzhou jersey no matter what!@!!@!@. wear it to every pick up game and smoke kids on the wings
i bought a real madrid kit for 50 kuai though LOL i was dumbfounded when she said it was 2 piece cuz i only wanted a the top
hahah careful you are wearing the wrong jersey at the wrong area. it's like i would try to avoid wearing my arsenal jersey when i was living in manchester (manchester united, manchester city, bolton, and blackburn fans would slice me LOL)
The controvery was not over whether he would be considered an "Asian" player or not, as an HK citizen, he's considered a "domestic" player. In any case, it's a done deal, he's treated as a domestic player and made his debut over the weekend.
There are three different kinds of jerseys available. One are the fake jerseys which are easily purchased for anywhere between RMB30-80, the other are the nike "fan" versions, which tend to sell for RMB299, and the final ones are the nike "player" versions which are RMB799. For anybody looking for a CSL jersey or other gear in China, taobao is the place to go and liangjian.taobao.com is an excellent source for official nike merchandise (they offer an even better selection than Nike's own website).
im fine with the fake ones LOL the quality is just fine, im not gonna drop 799 on a jersey. wait how do you use taobao? i hear internet in china isnt sescure......so if i have to leave my card with them then it's a no no lol. ill have my chinese friend order for me.
yo luohh does the chinese internet (the original communist friendly one --- NOT the one where you need to skip the great firewall of china) allows you to access bigsoccer? not sure if the communist ever banned this forum cause of my moderation lololol.
Ironically you would not look out of place wearing a Man U shirt in London (other than N17 of course).
I guess you'll get used to eating "la" food then! Enjoy the experience. I haven't been back for about 7 years now. I hear they got that internet thing and mobile phones and all.
CSL Summer Transfer (in) so far Code: Player Age Nationality from to fee salary Lucas Barrios 27 Paraguay Borussia Dortmund (GER) Guangzhou Evergrande €8.5m €27m for four years Didier Drogba 34 Côte d'Ivoire Chelsea (ENG) Shanghai Shenhua free €12m for 2.5 years Giovanni Moreno 25 Colombia Racing Club (ARG) Shanghai Shenhua $9m $9m for 3 years Yakubu Aiyegbeni 29 Negeria Blackburn Rovers (ENG) Guangzhou R&F £5.7m unknown Rubén Suárez 33 Spain Levante (ESP) Guizhou Renhe unknown unknown Simão Mate Junior 23 Mozambique Panathinaikos (GRE) Shandong Luneng free €4m for 1.5 years Isaac Chansa 28 Zambia Orlando Pirates (RSA) Henan Jianye unknown unknown Frédéric Kanouté 34 Mali Sevilla (ESP) Beijing Guo'an free unknown Joffre Guerrón 27 Ecuador Atlético Paranaense (BRA) Beijing Guo'an $3m $2m for 1 year
I don't think all of these are confirmed? Only Barrios, Drogba, Moreno, Simão Jr, Isaac Chansa have actually signed with the clubs. Rest seems to be rumors?
I am fine dropping $120 USD for a jersey. Now I just need to find out how to get one... my chinese isn't fluent -_-
Well, I can't get it NOW because I haven't any money on me. Later. But I'd like a Home jersey of Guangzhou Evergrande... ACL version of Gao Lin.
Had a look and there is no national team kit there unfortunately. Still if Freddy K does turn up for Guoan I might be tempted to get a green monstrosity with "Kanoute" on the back just for lols.
I saw Liaoning Whowin tie 0 to 0 with Shanghai Shenxin earlier this morning (for me). Gotta say, Shanghai Shenxin looked more dominate overall which was surprised considering the stance in the league.
^ and shenxin is close to relegation :O it seems kanoute is closing to beijing guoan. time for some fireworks yeah?
not sure what you guys think of this apparently manchester united contacted lippi and asked if guangzhou evergrande can play a friendly with the team. lippi rejected the offer, citing CSL is still going on and there is not time for a friendly that is particularly worthless.
