    Good luck to him. I suspect he will do very well in that Mickey Mouse league. Hope he does the bizzo v Rangers.

    Wasn't Mowbray after him when he was at the Baggies?

    Offered £2 mill for him, but talks broke down between the Chinese and West Brom.

    Good luck to him, wonder if Mouts'll kick him when they meet?

    It's amazing Mowbray signs another occasionally lovely player to watch who can't tackle!

    Good luck to ZZ. See Mowbray talked down the finanical and branding aspects of signing the Chinese captain. It always surprised me how we never capatlised on that.

    Bit difficult to talk it up when you're in the champ. Plus now the prem in China is mainly shown on a high fee based exclusive channel. CCTV5 only shows a few Prem matches now, plus not always live I'm told. It's a difficult market, wholly different to that of SE Asia and Japan. In Japan revenue streams come through the legitimate channels. China is not based around legitimate licensing channels. Very difficult market to crack, especially a la Perugia with Nakata.

    Good luck to him, reckon he will improve Celtics midfield no end, at Arsenal they had no spark or creativity in the middle and Zheng should be one of the best midfielders in the SPL

    He'll do alright. Most of the time he'll get the space he needs although I wonder how he'll handle some of the tougher aspects of play.

    Also, Tony Mowbray loves him.
