only? he's been pretty shit for quite some time. and a big diver so let's see how this is going to work out for him in the premiership
 
I think because he wants to go to an English team...to get used to the EPL.
But i agree with you.

I still think he is overrated...
 
Forgive my ignorance, but how are these transfers happening now? I thought they start at the end of the season..?
 
Ohh.. For some odd reason I thought even talks cannot happen at any time out of transfer window and considered illegal. Thanks for letting me know!

(Can't believe I just found this out now...)
 
:D well i belive the transfers happend all the time, that´s what agents are for...to find out what players are avileable, who will not sign a new contract etc... the squads shaping beginns right now... maybe also becouse the upcoming EURO tournament we see transfers happening soon..
 
He did. He was fed up being on the bench to Lewandowski this year and his relationship kinda broke down with the club and the coach who preferred The Polish striker this year.

The thing is, this is a very competitive guy who's VERY angry at being on the bench and not in starting 11. Very tough to keep a hold of a guy like that and he can be a bad thing in the dressing room. He was moaning the whole season basically about having lost his place but Lewandowski is doing great, and he's young and there's no reason to sit him on the bench.

So the fact that he was gonna leave the back to back German champions was inevitable but to go to China?!! At his age and at his ability?!!? I gotta say I'm really disappointed.

I'm okay with players like Anelka or even Drogba going there now to make a lot of $$$ in the twilight of their career having done a lot. But let's not kid ourselves, though he lost his place this year, Lucas Barrios is a GREAT striker! He's not a good footballer but he's a GREAT goal-scorer. The guy can hit it with his right, his left, headers, he's got the strength and technique to hold up the ball. He was along with Papiss Cisse the best striker last year and played a BIG role in Dortmund becoming champions after years. So I do feel for him and his frustration at losing his place especially after a great DEBUT season in such a tough league.

It's like he came over, became an instant hit and one of the league's top scorers and best strikers, adapted just fine (and this guy would be a great striker in EPL or anywhere! He's good enough and confident and physical enough) and then got injured and Robert Lewandowski took his chance and performed admirably! So he became 1st choice striker and the impatient Barrios had to wait on bench almost the whole season.

So it's a tricky situation. On one hand, I do feel his frustration and on the other, it makes perfect sense for Dortmund to have put their faith in the young talented Pole and ship the whining Barrios out.

I'm just surprised he didn't go to another top league and make big money while also proving BVB wrong. Maybe even go to another German club and score a few against Dortmund.

All in all, I'm pretty disappointed in him. A guy with his ability and at only 27 years old can be playing at the highest level. There's always time to go to The Gulf or China or wherever when you're 32 and make a $hitload of money then.

I never liked him as a person and now have lost even more respect for him.

That's crazy I tell you. At this age he's supposed to be right at his peak. Imo he can easily join another CL team. Like you say he's a very talented goal scorer. I'm not sure why he decided to leave to China at this stage. Maybe a year later he'll realize he's done a mistake and be back. If not, then I guess he doesn't care much about his football career anymore, but just his financial career.
 
Yeah he could easily be playing for another CL club. And imo he could cut it in any league and almost any team. He just knows how to score and is one of the purest strikers around.

Anyway yeah that's why I asked, I wonder how much he's getting paid! Because to leave The German champions and CL football for CHINA of all leagues (Though it's growing it's FAR behind!) he must be getting some SERIOUS $$$$$$!
 
He must be getting a huge wage to go out there. Arent that team paying Dario Conca (Argentine formerly at Fluminense) $10m a year, he's easily in the top 10 earners in football there. Maybe they offered Lucas Barrios the same sort of money.
