If anything in here seems too much how about this: 33 year old Carlos Tevez is being paid £615,000 a week to play for Shanghai Shenhua, managed by Gus Poyet. Virtually every word of that sentence is batshit crazy.
Chinese clubs aren't even buying the players, it's investors. Third party ownership and corruption runs through the veins of Chinese football. Too murky for FIFA to even begin to deal with, they're too busy trying to remove the power from England.
A lot of those I'd expect but Negredo and Forsters wages really do shock me, still not as much as when I found out Craig Gardner was on £40k a week at us!!
