That’s a quite a strange move for such a young player at the top of his career, instead of older players.

Damn, he's only 26. That's a shame.
Gonna see more of this I think. They're simply outspending everyone. Probably will come back to bite though — look at China. Oscar's still fucking there.
Lmao really? Oscar had style, it's pretty bleak that he spent the majority of his career in China. Not that I have anything against their league but it's just that the best players should be playing against each other, not wallowing in a foreign league for money
He tried to go back to Brazil last year but Shenhua blocked the transfer lol, even as a Gooner it's fucking tragic. Granted I'm biased as a Hong Konger but... If they want reputation-type players, they should do like Kitchee did with Forlan — take someone at the end of his career so that he gets to play the beautiful game and then help us improve reputations lol
Fucking hell, burying a career like that. I know, I know, money and what not, but he would have plenty opportunities to get the bag later.
That’s a quite a strange move for such a young player at the top of his career, instead of older players. Maybe we’ll get more and more young talents moving there.
Might be a Mendes related thing, that no other clubs wanted to pay what he and wolves wanted. He also went to wolves in the championship when he first went there even though he was obviously better than that.
