stumigoo Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I think Andy McNeil has made a brilliant decision. A chance to travel, try something new, get a decent wage and actually do something different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky_ffc Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Not surprised that Witsel is away to China. He was capable of playing for a better side than Zenit, but stayed there for 5 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite amazing. Don't think you'd get away with that in Europe due to various laws. Clearly the human rights people in China don't bother too much with football (or anything allegedly) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Minertaur Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 That's John Obi Mikel also moving to China. Biggest surprise for me is that it's been over 10 years since he signed for Chelsea! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Briggs Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 After 10 years at Chelsea, Mikel should be entitled to a testimonial. There's no mention of a fee on the club website. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I wanna watch this league now. I imagine it would be like when were 9/10 having a kickabout and then someone's big brother and his mates would join in and they're all taller, faster, stronger and better than ye but they've divided themselves up evenly to make it fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one of the big names but an excellent player who never, ever looked flustered. I'm sure there are other players who would have balked at being continually played out of their natural position but he took it in his stride and done an outstanding job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
