Last year Nelson Agholor Eagles Jersey , the soccer world was taken by surprise as Chinese Super League (CSL) spending in the transfer window blew away every other league in the world. This year, however, the world is ready.


Rumors about the next high-profile recruit have been flying around ever since the last transfer window closed in the summer, but with the next one set to open at the start of 2017, speculation has been ramping up.


The latest reports claim that Chelsea's Brazilian midfielder Oscar is on the verge of signing for money that would be considered obscene even by the CSL's inflated standards.

While the CSL is improving Women's Brian Dawkins Jersey , there is no question it is still significantly weaker than many leagues in Europe. Chinese players still need to move west to test themselves against better opposition if they are to truly fulfil their potential as a player.


The choice is clear: struggle for playing time while being largely anonymous in Europe, or be
