    Member and Jeterpool both on the money here. The amount of money in the Chinese Leagues nowadays virtually rules out the possibility of being able to get a decent enough player and still fit him under the cap. Maybe Miller and McKinna have been able to convince Mr Lee of the realities of this, hence the talks with Church.

    Kokko is definitely coming, apparently doing a medical later this week. Passes that, he will be officially a Jet.
    Don't understand why having "similar" players in the squad is a concern. We saw last year with Labi getting injured early on how it affects the depth. Would rather we go into a season with strong competition for starting XI spots and having a bench with experience and good options rather then what we had last season.

    We've not had a depth in attacking options, I'd argue, since Season 2 when we had Griffiths, Rodriguez, Coveny and Bridge.

    I guess if we are looking at Church, what are the other options, aside from not pursuing a Chinese development player?

    * Nordstrand - is his injury worse than we think? I saw him looking OK yesterday despite playing for the 2nd team at training.
    * Brown - Unlikely he is going to go after just signing for us
    * Poljak - Could he be on the move? We have a lot of coverage in the midfield! I wouldn't like that if I'm honest - unless we make a run at James Holland as well (but I don't think we have the room to).

    Let the speculation begin!

    Yang Wang, 27yo right winger - http://www.transfermarkt.com/yang-wa...spieler/119940
    CSL team, hasn't played any of their league games this calendar year, only played in cups. On the outer.

    Gang Wang, 27yo right winger - http://www.transfermarkt.com/gang-wa.../spieler/61353
    Chinese League 1, has played all games... but was mysteriously not in the squad for the weekends game. Prepping for a move to Newy?

    Xiaoyu Jiang, 27yo left winger - http://www.transfermarkt.com/xiaoyu-...spieler/252251
    Chinese League 2 regular, would be known to Lee/Ledman as owners of some other League 2 team I don't remember the name of.

    Jian Li, 27yo right winger - http://www.transfermarkt.com/jian-li...spieler/230393
    Currently unattached but appeared to be a regular in CL1

    This is my favourite...

    Leilei Ma, 27yo right winger - http://www.transfermarkt.com/leilei-...spieler/187992
    Plays in Portugal, in Ledman Liga Pro

    Not sure about that, have heard from 2 different sauces that Church has been approached by the Jets. Not saying it will happen but there has definitely been some talks.

    Dear me, is this supposed to be funny!
    Seriously thought that one grows out of seeing the humour in Chinese names by the time you reach puberty.
    Suppose small things amuse small....

    Dear god you are becoming the most miserable sod on the Foz.

    Lighten up buddy. Life ain't that bad.
