Please....Probably because the country itself isn't very nice.
I'd much rather this type of money being spent in Japan instead for instance, but hey the Communist Funds have got to go somewhere I suppose.....
Cahill is 35. They can buy someone younger and better.
Sad to see, but football is a results business.
Be interesting to see what he does next.
He could be a marquee here and still dominate IMO, despite his age.
Cahill shafted by Shanghai:

This is why the game will always be a joke in China. New coach comes in who doesn't want Cahill and the club tells him he has to go. This is going to happen with some of the big name signings we've seen; once the Chinese don't want you they don't give a s**t and couldn't give a rats arse about contracts.
Shades of Drogba who stopped getting paid by Shanghai because the owner was involved in a political dispute with the government. Also, President Xi is a huge football fan so football clubs are free to spend what they want. Good luck to those who have contracts there if he's replaced by someone who isn't a football fan.
Sounds like a few supporters here that seem desperate to offload some of their players to other clubs/countries.
Seriously, this happens in every country in the world. We even have a team like Sunderland that won't play a first choice keeper because it will trigger a bonus payment.
Pretty sure that as a free agent Cahill could join any English club outside of the transfer window too. Only proviso is that he could only go onto a premier league clubs 25 man list if they were already operating with 24 or less.
I doubt he'd be classed as a free agent having just sighed a new deal (which is not being honoured).
Nah it doesn't actually. Sunderland sold the said keeper to another club who continued paying his wages.
Those same supporters you quote would be horrified if the club stopped paying a player because he isn't part of their plans anymore.
No surprise you defend the Chinese club though considering you're part owned by the communists.
Where does it say the deal isn't being honoured. My reading of that article is that even though the deal is being paid in full he would have rather stayed. If he's reached a termination, he's a free agent.
I don't think so. Would have thought there would be restraint of trade issues.Isn't there a rule somewhere that states you have to be a free agent at the end of the transfer window?
Otherwise it would be very easy for a club to "terminate" a contract of a player and than another club sign them up immediately.
He just signed a new contract and transfer windows are closed everywhere. Sounds like he didn't even get paid out and was forced to leave because they brought a new coach in who doesn't want to play him. That sort of s**t wouldn't be accepted in Europe without serious implications, you can't just walk away from a contract because your new coach decides he wants someone else.
