yeah I get that, but his agent hasn't even spoke to the club yet, that's the point I was trying to make. The transfer deadline is looming. If this was a legitimate offer, his agent would be straight to meet TFC and begin discussions and not be running to the press . 6 Days to initiate talks, agree fees/contracts etc is very tight, especially when the chinese club are not dealing directly with TFC/MLS but via an agent, it is doable of course but would be difficult.
I don't think there is anything in this personally, I think his agent has made a throwaway comment that the media has latched on to.
Of course you can never say never, but I believe this will blow over.
