Looks like they're bringing in a new rule to curb the ridiculous spending. Could mean Costa staying in Europe now.
Doesn't really help the claim that they'll be competing with the top European leagues and sign the world's biggest stars - never bought that anyway.
Signing Oscar must have been the final straw.

No European club is gonna pay that sort of money for Costa, he's not worth it.
Premier league clubs should invest more money in football infrastructure, you're correct. Difference here is that the premier league clubs aren't running up hige losses each year like in China. And it's self sustained, unlike the Chinese clubs that are bankrolled by billionaires.

Any investors here? Would anyone short the Chinese economy as a whole since this stupid spending, which goes way beyond football, can't be sustainable?

It's not, which is why rules are being brought in to stop the spending.

So maybe they can't afford the likes of Costa and Rooney, but I reckon they could still woo Young.

This article is a guesswork after Moody's credit downgrading on China.

It's a new rule implemented by the Chinese FA.
