Be interesting to see the result of this if this were to go through. Bizarrely, I think the body that could end up most benefitting from it would be the Chinese league. I, and I'm assuming the majority on here, always assumed that players who went out there were passing up on having careers in competitive leagues in favour of huge and immediate financial gain. If, as would be the case with Paulinho, he can do this and end up returning to Europe for one of the best teams around, then it arguably does more to boost the image of the Chinese league. Not only can they now attract top players, those same players can actually improve their standing amongst top teams on the back of playing well there.

Paulinho has apparently been very very good in Brazil.
Javi Martinez the Bayern one? Quite a coup if so.
Two excellent signings if they happen, more so if Martinez is going to play CDM rather than CB.
il tempo, united reignites interest in Nainggolan. United offerd him 6.6m£ per year as they claim
I dont know the credibility of il Tempo, but as far as I know they are a local Roma paper.

New contract with Roma reportedly being negotiated. I'd ignore anything and everything re Nainggolan.
Besiktas trying to close the deal for Pepe.

Sanches has not and will not put in performances akin to the calibre Mbappe has. There was plenty of people who were not convinced with him 2 seasons ago; Mbappe has been almost universally praised.
Would be a fantastic signing for whoever lands him. He's still only 19/20 and will develop into a top player.
No one wants to manage them it seems.
Can't say I won't enjoy this. I hate them a lot and having Moyes for a season made me hate them even more.
No one wants the Sunderland job for a good reason.
Derek McInnes was all set to take the job when they told him that the club might be sold in the next few weeks and the new owners might bring in their own manager.
You would have thought they would consulted with the prospective buyer before offering someone the job.

Nope, Mr and Mr Harris' adopted son.
There you go Wayne....if you want to make yourself look good again, have a stint in China!
Thanks.
Looks like Pep is pulling out all the stops this year. If he doesn't win the league or CL, the pressure will be on and he may feck off next summer.
I'd jump at that job. You'd get a ton of compo when you get sacked.
Martinez isn't a good CB. That's where Pep is going to play him and he's always been exposed against pace.
He's a great CDM though. Martinez, Stones and Alves doesn't scream defensively solid.

I wouldn't have minded him at CDM for us.
He is a fantastic CB. Luckily there is no chance of this story being true.
Have you seen the source? Do you know him?
Are BT sources as bad as Sky Sports sources?
How can Martinez have a medical next week and we didn't even hear a single link about him all the summer ? It doesn't make any sense. No club can keep a secret like this from the media all this time.
Nah I don't know him personally. I met his parents. They said he's a good lad.
