brummie Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Good for him. Better to start for Villa than sit on the bench for whoever was interested. It is a surprising turn of events. Think he's the loyal type, plus the club spent the first three years he was with us nursing him through horrible injuries. Not too sure I'd have harnessed my career to the spluttering wreck which is Villa this season (I am reluctant to harness my free time to it, even), but it is nice to see a bit of loyalty when the league is full of Scott Sinclair or Wayne Bridge types.

SEMTEX Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Brazilian footballer motivated by big money deal rather than making a move based upon their love of the game? This is a first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Brazilian footballer motivated by big money deal rather than making a move based upon their love of the game? This is a first. TBF the best usually come to Europe and do well here for couple of years and then get full of that money and decide to party. These guys are just ruining their careers. Fine, they'll earn more now than they probably would in Europe, but I wonder how much money means compared to a call up to the World Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, but at the same time, he's 25 and was called up to the Brazilian national team for the first time recently. He is basically throwing that away, which is hard for us fans to understand. As for him, that money will only do him good probably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Seems a waste for the first two. I'm sure some dudes in suits made a few quid though, which is the main thing. I get money means a lot, but both of them were being called up by Dunga and are genuinely good footballers in their prime. They've now thrown that away to go to China and Dubai. Same goes for Tardelli who left Atletico MG for China but he's 30 or so and at the end of his career. I'd assumed their 3rd party owners would have made the decision? Read the article you posted in the other thread, hope your league gets its act together. Student of mine who's big into football was telling me about it and he's pessimistic though.

The third part owner owned 40% so I'd guess they had a big say, but ultimately it's the players decision. As for Cruzeiro, they've earned a decent fee and will most probably have to restart after two great years. Big test for their manager who has been winning everything with that team. As for the league, yeah it's ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But big teams in Europe were rumoured to be scouting him. Man U have shown interest over the last year or so. Now he'll be playing in a league where Grafite at almost 100 years of age is scoring almost a goal per game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I doubt he'd command such a salary in any of the big leagues in Europe. Thanks for posting this stuff though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Didn't realise Brozovic has joined Inter. Made some decent signings recently Sums up the fall of Italian football really when a Bayern reserve, an Arsenal reserve and an as-of-yet unproven in the big leagues Croatian kid is considered decent, for one of their 'giants'.

The College Dropout Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Bad move. Financially and professionally. How the f*** do you know if it is bad for him financially? Signing on bonuses for free transfers tend to be pretty big. He would have multiple suitors including Villa which he could play against. I'm going to guess he could make more money that route. His whole interview pointed out things such as loyalty over other attributes. But I'm guessing you just wanted to quote me and say that i'm wrong again. Which is pretty pathetic.

loki679 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Nothing wrong with the Chinese league. Standard is decent, big crowds, passionate following.

Guanghzou ain't that bad having seen them play, but it's still a step down from the Brazilian league which in itself has declined the last 10 years and isn't even a top 10 league in the world probably.
