Sad. Seems that he is taking a step down for money.
I will miss him in the A-League

A step down?
How so?

I'm not surprised. Hope Mrs Smeltz likes the shopping in Jinan. Would have been nice if he tried to take a step up in competition rather than a step up in cash though.

You don't think the CSL is a step up from the A-League?

a step up in corruption, a step up in cash, but no, not a step up in quality. Not necessarily a step down either, but not a move that is going to lead anywhere.

Corruption?

Was hoping the Club Brugge rumours were true, so I am a little disappointed by him going to China.

Wish him all the best obviously. Hopefully this move will see him continue to get constant first team football. Better than ending up in Europe and getting a lot of bench time.

This. Also all the Chinese games are streamed live on the net at times that arent too bad, so I will look forward to watching his progress there.

The AFC certainly don't think the CSL is inferior to the A-League - the opposite, in fact. Third best league in East Asia behind J-League and K-League.

Agree with that, but come on, there were rumors of Fulham, Belgium etc. China is ridiculously comapred to that. I just wished we had more high-profile players in Europe.
