But China has got bigger resources than Russia.

Some of these chinese clubs belong to billionaire consortiums and businesses and the stadiums make Old Trafford look like a school field.

For example Jamie Vardy could go to China and pick up £200k week. He's about to ink a deal with LCFC. Once Leicester hopefully clinch the title he should really think about heading there. He's 29 so he needs to think about his future. He won't win the Champions League even if LCFC qualify so what's the point. The dominance of Barce, PSG, Man City, Madrid, and Bayern will mean good players at other clubs go elsewhere to earn top level money and a chance of winning The Champions League...of Asia.

The EPL may have Sky money but the non top clubs like Watford, West Ham, Leciester wont get to the ,£100k any time soon. Vardy has been offered £80k week and is the clubs top earner. That's peanuts for the EPL's top scorer.The thing is LCFC Ahave a ceiling or a capmon wages. They simply can't compete with Liverpool, City or Cheslea let alone China. Players in the level of Vardy, Ighalo, Payet, Bolassie, Butland, Mahrez are great players playing at EPL standard "low" paying clubs. They are seeing less talented players at bigger clubs eg Depay, Falcao, Cahill, Wilshere, Darmian picking up megabucks and they will think ," hang on a second, I can earn close to Benzema, Lewandowski, Hazard level wages of I go to China." Why is Falcao getting £200k a week on loan whilst Ighalo and Carry get 1/10th of that?

Harry Kane gets paid less than Adeybayor (he's basically has subsidised him) when he was cast out and now on contract at Palace. If I were HK I'd tell Spurs pay me £180k or I'm off. Great strikers are hard to come by so Levy will have to stump up the cash.
