I am actually supportive of this as a concept. Signing a Chinese player as a means to promote the Jets in China and bring in much needed sponsorship and exposure makes perfect sense. But its the timing of this that what bothers me the most.
Miller left these 2 positions open for a reason, he wanted to spend whatever we had left in the cap on the best 2 attacking players we could recruit. We signed younger inexperienced players like Clut and Duncan, imo, to free salary cap space for these signings. We may not have signed Brown for instance, and instead gone for a legitimate attacker rather than a utility type player. It seems that we had a plan for recruitment and its being derailed now. And despite that its still fine as he is the owner and thats what he wants to do, but to then say the goal is to make top 3 within a couple of seasons is at odds to this. If the team is to become a developmental team for Chinese players thats one thing but they won't be coming close to the top 6. Mariners for example, are a developmental team for meth addicts and vagabonds.
Just waiting now on the inevitable pressure to be applied to Miller to play this player over better performing team mates.

I agree with many of these points. The facts are whatever Chinese player comes wont be up to the required standard, unless the are in the marqee category.
There is alot of money in Chinese football at the moment. Any decent Chinese player will stay in their league where the money is.
Chinese football is a long way behind japan and south Korea in terms of player talent produced.
The only way forward is getting 2-3 Chinese kids to join the youth team. Im sure FFA could bend some rules if needed to allow this.
FFA needs to introduce a 451 VISA Marquee

Miller full of praise for him, reckon it's nailed on.
Did not like the last line though...
Meanwhile, Jets defender Daniel Alessi suffered a serious knee injury at training last week.
Alessi out for the season. Very disappointing!!
Nabbout injury replacement is my guess
