They have done some shrewd business over the past few seasons; £50m for Coco the clown and now £60m for Oscar.

Am I the only one who thinks this is clubs over here cooking their books
Look who are the selling clubs
Chelsea are the one who have sold the most along with Russian ones and PSG
These are financially doped clubs who need to comply with FFP to compete
Who can check the books of a Chinese side to know the transfer fee legitimately and keep track
Robbo
Paul Walsh
I'd be surprised if this isn't the case.

Yep
You can't trace anything in china form my experience unless they want you too
And less so when it's government backed

Agreed something does not seem right to me. Appears that Levy is not part of an alleged cartel when he only was able to get £10 million for Paulinho.

You mean the Brazil regular Paulinho Who as played 37 time for his country and is a regular
I know it's bizarre as baisically they should be a very similar value give or take 20% (not 500%)

I'll hold my tongue until I'm sure I've understood you, are you trying to say that Oscar and Paulihno should have been sold for a similar amount?
Bedfordspurs
Chris Waddle
I'm saying that a player of equal stature internationally and held in a similar high regard although clearly not as good but in reality not as far behind as some Spurs fans may think... should cost 1/6th of the other player
Just because Paulinho wasn't great here doesn't make him a poor player and I can't fathom out what makes Oscar worth 600% of Paulinho

Chris Waddle
It has and that could be part of it but the conspiracy theorist in me thinks that someone somewhere is fixing their books
Baleforce
Les Bennett
I think an argument can be made that he's three times as good and fees have doubled

We all guffawed heartily when Paulinho went for ten mill. I now have a horrible feeling the last laugh is actually on us.
Bedfordspurs
Chris Waddle
Your view of course but Paulinho starts for Brazil and is deemed to be a very good player
I would say oscar is better but not that much better and is quite fragile and flaky hence why their selling him
Attackers/creators cost more than defenders/spoilers as a rule

Oh yeah he was wasn't he, just didn't remember him doing any of it
