Why’s Oscar going to China?
There is one obvious reason why 25-year-old Oscar is switching the Premier League for the Chinese Super League: finances. The £60m transfer fee works out as a £35m profit for Chelsea on what they spent on the player in 2012. It was an offer too good to turn down.

Who will Oscar be playing with at Shanghai SIPG?
While a transfer to China may seem like a big culture shift for Oscar, there will be a few familiar faces at his new club. Former Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas - who left the Blues five months before the player arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2012 - is their manager. He took over from Sven-Goran Eriksson in November (Eriksson is still in China but at second-tier Shenzhen FC). http://e1.365dm.com/16/10/16-9/20/skysports-hulk-chinese-super-league-csl_3801573.jpg?20161005205814
Oscar’s Brazil team-mate Hulk - who was signed from Zenit St Petersburg in June for £45.7m - is the club’s star striker. In the Chinese Super League clubs are restricted to four foreign players and one player from another Asian country. Shanghai SIPG’s other international players are Argentinean midfielder Dario Conca, Ivory Coast youngster Jean Evrard Kouassi and South Korean Ju-Young Kim
Chinese President is a fanatic football fan and nothing will give him more joy than hosting the world cup in China. So to achieve that he set out the government to reform the local Chinese league by first dismantling the leadership, club ownership and betting mafia’s controlling it. Now government is directly funding them or pushing Chinese billionaires to buy the club to invest heavily on them or foreign european clubs.
At the highest wage bills in the football world, it will be a good place to retire as you stock up the cash for future use.
The only downside though is that they only allow just five foreign players in aclub. The fifth being from the Asian region.
But if things were to change Ithink that will be the next stop for kina messi, CR7 and the likes, on their way to football retirement.
Messi has another 5 years at his best. He could go back home if his finances are finally strong or the usa. CR7 sheer hardwork means he has at least 7 yrs, he craves a challenge and i suspect he could retire because his finances are very strong or he could move to usa. Either way the top two players will not go to China.
Though Oscar will make good money, he is still young and has the potential to shine in other European leagues. China’s standards are very low compared to Europe and I hear that their pitches are not even in superb condition. This is not good news to a player who wishes to continue making an impresion at the national team level.
Currently,it will only do good to stars whose playing careers are at a twilight stage and heading towards retirement. However, a career in professional soccer is very short and if you can make quick bucks,then well and good.
CR7 kuenda seven more years ni ngumu considering he will be 32 in 2017. If you observe keenly, he is not as fast as he used to be three seasons ago and when you factor in injuries, I would give him five at most, the same with Messi. They just play too many games and it reaches a time the body can no longer withstand it.
He doesn’t get slot of injuries, he also works out in the gym way too hard, their isn’t a more fit athletic in the world. He eats well, avoids personal pressure and basically his whole life deliberately fits on his mantra to be perfect for the game. That kind of personal motivation can take keep him in the game for a decade. He doesn’t have to be fast but smart, all that experience and skill covers for that. Messi personal, financial and physical is top notch as CR7. He is lucky la Liga isn’t fast and hard as EPL.
Exactly he is short and prefers to dribble around tackles, soon or later
someone else will hurt him vibaya. Ronaldo is tall and jumps to avoid heavy tackles and that is why he doesn’t get injured much. I hope I’m wrong and they both stay fit. Messi has God given talent while Ronaldo is skill backed by sheer hardwork and perfection.
