The January Transfer Window - 2016

[Lineker]

Yeah, the Chinese window doesn't slam shut until the end of this month!

[Benji]

That seems impractical if there's bad weather.

Lineker's panicking, he thought the beginning of March would be a safe time to open the Summer thread.

[Lineker]

Summer transfer thread is fair game the day my hayfever stops.

Paris Saint-Germain’s Ezequiel Lavezzi has become the latest high-profile player to move to China after he agreed a deal with the Super League side Hebei China Fortune.

The 30-year-old Argentina international, whose PSG contract ran to the end of the season, scored 22 goals in 107 Ligue 1 games since joining the French champions in 2012, but has mainly been used as a substitute this season.

Lavezzi, who moved to PSG from Napoli for €30m, will join up with the former Arsenal and Roma forward Gervinho, who signed last month.

Chinese clubs have been on a spending spree in the transfer window, which runs until 26 February, making a host of big-name signings including the Brazilian midfielders Alex Teixeira and Ramires and Atlético Madrid’s Colombia striker Jackson Martínez.

Hebei did not disclose any financial details of the Lavezzi deal, which was announced on their Weibo account.

Norwegian midfielder Kristoffer Ajer has agreed to join Celtic in June on a four-year contract.

Oh crikey. That's one that I've actually heard of. How about that.

Wonder when the bubble will burst

If the MLS is anything to go by, maybe never? Especially as the President is supposedly a massive football fan and wants China to at least host a World Cup by 2030...

[DavidMarrio]

Are any of the new signings on long term contracts? They may just get a big payday then fuck off after two years elsewhere.

Pretty sure I read he was earning 400k a week which sounds fantastic.
