Chinese teams being more competitive would be great though, you make it sound like it was a bad thing.
I don't think we need more good teams that are good because they splurged billions of dollars. I'd like China to get a healthy scene, but further inflation of the price of football players is hugely negative, imo.
It wouldn't make a whole lot of sense for China to dominate football anyway. The Asian Champions League does not really compare with the real deal. Can you imagine a CHinese team as powerful as Barcelona having to play a Qatar side in the final?
There seems to be talk of Sanchez to Munchen and also to City at the same time. Is he definately out the Emirates door then? Daily Mirror are saying Sanchez, Aguero and Jesus together at City. That sounds potent.
Sanchez according to Chilean media has already signed for Bayern xD They posted picture of squad for upcoming games and had Sanchez affiliated with Bayern haha
I think Griezmann fits incredibly well in United and in Mou system.
He is fast, can go back to the midfield to recover a ball, scores lots of goals, and considering how Ateltico de Madrid plays, he should do something more or less like that.
Also i think they will need a new keeper ? Pretty sure De Gea might be leaving this year considering his contract ends in 2019, even thou i think is a terrible deal for everyone involved (better for United tho, a lot of money), RM doesnt need a new keeper and United has to find a reliable one FAST (No, Romero is not reliable)... maybe Oblak ?
Valencia might need a back up plan too, guy is a monster and is a toss up between him and Herrera for the best United player this season, but at his 31-32 yars old he is still fast and very good, but, of course he is not getting any younger.
If Martial can make a decent comeback next season, with Rashford AND Griezmann they could be in a pretty decent shape for the next season as far as forward is concerned, althou not a CL winning team line up.
lol.. Chelsea actually has played some awesome games in the CL. The 4-2 vs barcelona was amazing. But only a bad team should find pride in getting a title that way. Like, I get people from Greece thinking that all their EC2006 games were the best ever, but no Brazilian is gonna consider the 94 final vs Italy their proudest moment.

2004* Also you're talking to an insane person that is both delusional and trolling on this topic.
Today was probably the worst matchday of all time for me personally. Not because of the game itself but because I lost all belief in the police. Police spraying/shooting with Water cannons on probably the most peaceful fanmarch I've ever attended is a farce. Police shooting their water cannon at cowering groups of people including children and old people. Their reasoning? "The Braunschweig fans left the route to the Stadium". WTF give me a break. We are surrounded by police the whole march and we are following the police. How the fuck were we supposed to leave the route?
"Braunschweig Fans were throwing bottles". I can't say I could see anyone throwing stuff. This doesn't mean it didn't happen. But considering they used water cannons I expect the police to have a better reasoning than two or three flying bottles.
Water cannons are never "deescalating" At best they disperse a mob. What a water cannon is going to do tho to a completely peaceful but drunken mob of football fans is split the mob in half. 90% is gonna run away. The other 10% is gonna mask themself and try to fight. This is actually the only point I saw flying bottles.
Use a water cannon on a peaceful crowd. But when Dynamo fans injure 20 policemen don't do anything because you don't want to escalate the situation. Whoever made that call today from the police deserved to go into the Kategorie C.
I'm so miffed by this. All my life when Ultras told me how everyone is out for them I just said nothing and nodded along. This really brings the image of the police for me in a precarious situation. I need to sleep a night about it.
Yo beating Bayern in their home stadium on penalties after such bad luck the previous umpteen years was very very special. Like Gary Neville was saying since half way through the run, it was written in the stars <3
Plus was a joke that final, was like 80% Bayern fans as expected in the finals and UEFA did nothing about it xD
That's sounds quite depressing TheNewEra. I have a really posertive image of German football with the clubs been fan owned, tickets been affordable and just the genral reputation of Germany been a friendly and well run country. Mabye it's not quite the Utopia I thought.
China trying to rein in the spending has to be good news for Yanbian Funde. I think they must be the poorest club in the League.
Two Korean friends have now asked me if I am watching the football. I had no idea what they where talking about. There is aparently a U-20's World Cup going on in Korea right now and England are playing Korea in front of 35,000 in Suwon. It's hard explaining to my Korean friends we don't give a shit about U-20's football and the game isn't even on the tely in England and if the game itself was in England there would only be about 500 people watching it. The England players must be wondering what the hells going on.
I am confused as to whether Korea just cares a lot more about youth football or maybe they just heard Korea vs England and don't realise it's not the actually the national teams. Anyway quite a big cultural difference. Maybe we should care more about youth football.
edit: I don't like the use of the word youth there. It sounds like I am talking about kids. Can't think of a better way to phrase it.
