I'm also overly cautious whenever someone who's playing in Asia (esp China) is mooted as a possible signing as some of these players are on ridiculous wages and I struggle to see why anyone would want to give that up to come and play for us to be honest.

Tongue firmly in cheek with this comparison??
Burns had 3 seasons in Japan (the last a write off with injury) for 3 goals.
In two stints with Shanghai over 3 seasons also, Ba scored 25 goals.
In his first stint with Shanghai he was on $USD6.7 million per year.
He ain't coming to the Nix.
FYI - he's a practising Muslim who observes Ramadan, which for 2019 is 6th May – 3rd June.
