To be fair, I can see the appeal of the US. At least it's an English speaking country with some undoubtedly amazing places to live for a few years. And they are a sports-loving bunch. The same could be said of Australia. But China?!

What. A. ****hole.

Dirty, polluted, rude people, arrogant and corrupt government, the list is endless.

And they only care about wiff-waff.

This has got complicated. You are criticising Grazziano for picking the wrong destination rather than taking the lucre.
The US hasn't got an arrogant and corrupt government? o_O

(BTW I think Grazzi was more interested in the restaurants than the govt record ;))
 
My mate ITK tells me that there could be two signings this coming week. When pressed he just winked and touched the side of his nose. He's never been wrong before.

We're signing someone called nose? Did he touch his ear too? If so, maybe we're signing Rose or another Jose?
 
And Leicester's Kante joins Chelsea. That's a shame: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36806454
It is a shame (sort of, as I don't particularly want Leicester to do well again) but it shows straight away that it doesn't matter how successful a smaller club is in the short term, players can still be easily lured away for the right price, will give up playing for a team in European cup competition for a "big" team with no European games.
I expect the word ambition will be mentioned, but its all either down to wages or location.
Saints should never be surprised when our top players leave - if the damn reigning league champions can't keep their best players, it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone when the same happens to us.

Hopefully it will weaken Leicester enough so that we can finish above them this season. If Riyad Mahrez goes as well, then they will revert to being an also ran in the mid table mini league which of course suits us.

If there was a salary cap almost none of this would happen.
