True but the amount they're offering it won't be long till a player in his prime takes the bait imo. Also it would only take Shanghai whateverthefuck to hoy a ridiculous bid in for Defoe and offer him scary money for attitudes to change on here about it



Fair enough.

If Shanghai whatever gave us 25m we'd be mad not to take it.
 
Looking more like the nutty professor every time I see him. He's chucking the weight on.

There's a lot more going on in China to concentrate on than some money grabbing footballers at the end of their career.
 
Anyone fancy a protest outside the embassy?

They'd prolly be chuffed it wasn't about tibet and invite us in for tea and spring rolls
 
It'll inflate wages and transfer fees but the premier league have always been one of the main culprits for doing that , so wright should shut his mouth . IMO

This, i find it hilarious that the media are twisting on about China paying big bucks but when the Premier League did it to the detriment of other leagues and the national team you may argue, well thats fine.

Ultimately I'd like to see us become a bigger club than Bournemouth again

Two sides to that coin. I'll put my tin hat on but I agree in today's climate Bournemouth and Sunderland are similar sized clubs but on the other side of the coin clubs like Leicester and Crystal Palace are paying £30m for players.

Leicester for example have always been a mediocre club and usually bouncing between the top two divisions (I think Man City and us hold the record for most second tier titles). This season the only non English clubs who will generate a bigger income than Leicester are:

Barcelona
Real Madrid
Bayern Munich
Borussia Dortmund
Juventus
PSG

That could be Sunderland in a few years if they buy well. So at the higher end of the spectrum you could have more financial power than the Milan clubs, Atletico Madrid, Monaco, etc but at the bottom end any club that finds it's way to the PL automatically becomes a threat as Sunderland have no inherent advantage over them.

The possibility that a regional club like Sunderland can become bigger than AC Milan or smaller than Burton Albion in the next few years makes football a bit more exciting.
