Unlucky Luque Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 chengdu...makes me think of Chinedu "Edu" Obasi Ogbuke who didnt og to CSKA Moskow after all...he'd be a great signing. Seen him a few times and he's got skill, stregth, creativity and is young. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Spectrum Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 They have a couple of chinese players on their books. Li Tie (ex Everton) and another one, I don't remember his name (He never plays) but I think he's a veteran forward. I think they bought a shitty chinese club (Which must be this Chengdu) too. They're just looking for free money from chinese mugs. Don't know why, we've never seemed to do that well out of it - We've got the best chinese player by a million miles and we're still buying shite like Paul Dickov.

Rob W Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 there was sommat on the radio a few years back - some local Sheffield businessmen went to Chengdu and set of a set of exchanges of kids, students, sports teams as a consequence of their knowing the locals guess it all came from that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delima Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Sheffield United own the Chengdu football club. Good idea actually. Any chance Newcastle could do the same? This will help us immensely in widening our scouting network, and would help us financially as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
