I'd say in quality it probably 2nd best in asia, the best league being Japan. But this isn't saying much when nearly all leagues in Europe are better.
The payday is big for these players though, in terms of retirement, then sure, go for it. But for a young player, who I would have thought is trying to get into their national side to win cups? Not sure.
Alas, with recent news Fonte isn't happy at Saints, I'm wondering if he is after his retirement payday but who would take him? He's 33 and I'm not sure who, other than a big China/US move, would take him. We offered him a new contract which he didn't want but we are more run as a business now more than ever to make sure we stay in money and don't drain it like we used to. Yet he deserves to get a good amount of money for the work he's done for us, joining us in League 1 and working hard to get to when he is now. Not only Captain but Euro winner this year, from a player a few seasons ago in 3rd teir of English football. Sad to see him leave if he does.
Hmm, pie.
