And he'll get a reported £400,000 a WEEK!

In was reading into a bit about the game over there before their season started and it was quite interesting.

The current President of the country is football daft. He wants the country to host a World Cup and eventually win one. He's doing all he can to improve the current standard of the sport.

To win political favour, companies are backing teams to buy whoever they want. So in theory if your shown to help improve the game then there's a chance your company is going to get some sort of benefit in the future.

Popular with Brazilians just now. The quality of the players is slightly above those going to this MLS who are maybe using that as a retirement fund. There's probably still a need to attack young players with star quality but most only be a matter of time.

£400,000 a week. Ouch!

The average salary per week in Shanghai is £150 a week.Oscar will be earning 2666 average workers combined income. He is a very good player but far from the best. Someone needs to press the reset button on the world.

Carlos Tevez not on the verge of signing a £32m a YEAR deal too?

Had to laugh at Konte's comments about how the money in China is a danger to other world wide football clubs. Obviously doesn't know much about his current employers.

It's extremely hard to get money out of China at the moment, which I think is an off putting factor for many despite the ludicrous wages.

That will be the same Tevez who wanted to leave England because his family were home sick..!

I'm sure I saw that Tevez was earning about £1 a second, £600k a week.

It's sickening, absolutely sickening.

Do you mean you can earn mega bucks but have to keep it and spend it in China?

They're going for it, no doubt about it.

The standard is piss poor and you have to wonder why an already multi millionaire in Oscar goes chasing even more money.

At 25 with his peak footballing years just ahead of him I would have thought he would want to try winning a major European league title and have a crack at the CL.

The money has obviously talked. China is usually a money-spinner for players at the end of their career; going there at 26 must mean money is more important than anything to the guy,

He's young enough to go over there for a few years, make a packet and then resume his career in Europe.

It is a career that could end instantly so I imagine it would be very tempting.

I dont get what all the fuss is about

These players (like 99.9% of players) are going there for a huge pay day

This "danger to football etc" is all nonsense....a danger to the EPL potentially, if they start getting more and more big stars -but a danger to football?

I dont remember hearing that line when Mac City started spending it up

Maybe footballers have a way of getting it out but I know it's a big issue in other sports/industries.

Rooney apparently to be offered £700,000 a week in China...

Kind of wish I'd stuck in at football now as a kid. Only thing stopping me from being a multi millionaire. Oh, and the fact that I'm *****e

Nail on the head. It's the English press panicking that's all.

If all the big names up and off to China for ridiculous money that can't be supported or justified, I am not sure what the EPL would have to complain about.
