I guess dos Santos will probably go to China or maybe even back to Mexico, but if he wanted to (and that's a big if, even if he was signed here) he would tear up the A-League like no one ever has before.
People say this about every "name" player and it's a load of crap. dos Santos isn't even and wasn't even ever a top tier player.
What do you mean by "top tier"?
I only ask because Two Saints played for Barcelona (top tier in Spain), Tottenham Hotspur (top tier in England), Galatasaray (top tier in Turkey) and LA Galaxy (top tier in USA).
Barca - bench player at best, mostly Barca reserves
Spurs - barely played in 4 years
Galatasary - 14 apps, 0 goals, then went on loan to Racing Santander
Few OK years at mid table La Liga clubs
Does pretty good in the MLS
Frequently cited as one of the most overrated players in the game; he's a name player, not a top tier, puts bums on seats, tears up the league sort of player. (got voted as the MLS most overrated recently even). In the MLS he was overshadowed by Villa, by Giovinco.
