What did we pay for Chery originally?
Quite right. If anyone offered any of us a triple or more salary, who would say no?I remember reading about Chery's family background and early years, which were very rough indeed. I think (may have dodgy memory) that he was fairly upfront about money being important to him for security for his family. In which case China would be very tempting, and Oscar going there adds a bit of credibility to the whole thing. Can't really blame him.
Not necessarily. If I was a footballer like him, I might. But in my current situation in life, I'd be hard-pressed to just pick and go with everything I have. Kids going to good schools, them having to lose friends, and no, I do not want to have a long-distance relationship away from the important people in my life, the kids can't just change everything around them, they'd have a really hard time, etc.Quite right. If anyone offered any of us a triple or more salary, who would say no?

only might say no thoughNot necessarily.
I couldn't just pick up and go to a foreign country where I do not speak the language, nor have I the luxury of family freedoms around me that would allow me to do so. So no, even if it was tripling my salary, I might say no.
So that's a silly question![]()
He'd probably do well at Arsenal
the greed in football will imo be it's downfall. My local has to pay £1100 a month for the full Sky/BT package and even for the ''big games'', you'll only see 20 customers in thereThe modern fixation on money being the most important thing in life is such a sad indictment of the World we live in.
Yes big shame we couldn't get back to the PL with him, and realising this, a shame too Chery apparently is not looking to move to a PL Club where he could both secure his family's financial security and better enhance his football career than he is is likely to do in China.Agreed. I think he would do very well with better players around him.

Agree there Norway. JFH built the team around him......and it just about worked/ticked over. But really Chery was not quite good enough for thatHave to congratulate the club of making another good profit on a player in the space of a week. Honestly I don't think they will be missed.
