Good luck to ZZ. See Mowbray talked down the finanical and branding aspects of signing the Chinese captain. It always surprised me how we never capatlised on that.
Bit difficult to talk it up when you're in the champ. Plus now the prem in China is mainly shown on a high fee based exclusive channel. CCTV5 only shows a few Prem matches now, plus not always live I'm told. It's a difficult market, wholly different to that of SE Asia and Japan. In Japan revenue streams come through the legitimate channels. China is not based around legitimate licensing channels. Very difficult market to crack, especially a la Perugia with Nakata.
Good luck to him, reckon he will improve Celtics midfield no end, at Arsenal they had no spark or creativity in the middle and Zheng should be one of the best midfielders in the SPL

Offered £2 mill for him, but talks broke down between the Chinese and West Brom.
Also, Tony Mowbray loves him.
