On the last day of February, Guangzhou could be back in the Chinese Super League, and transfers that haven't been officially announced could be canceled!
First, let's look at what was revealed about Canton's transfers.
Yang Liyu: Transferred to Beijing Guoan!
Zhang Xiuwei: Transferred to Guangzhou City!
Efirdin: Transferred to Shandong Taishan
I heard that Wei Shihao and Yan Dinghao also went to Shandong Taishan, but the Shandong Taishan side has already dispelled the rumors about Wei Shihao!
The above players are the main players of Guangzhou team, if they all leave, Guangzhou team will not even be able to mix with the Chinese Super League, not to mention the Chinese A League.
Although Yang Liyu has been questioned, he had a good 2022 season. Zhang Xiuwei is not better than Yang Liyu, but as an engineer, he still has his advantages. Although Efirdin is a bit impulsive, as long as he trains well, he will definitely make a difference in the future. Needless to say, Yan Dinghao and Wei Shihao are the mainstays of the team's rotation when there are foreigners.
While China A is far less competitive than the Chinese Super League, it's not something a few guys can handle. The Guangzhou team wants to stay, but they can't. The players who can play in the Chinese Super League naturally don't want to be in China A. Only if the Guangzhou team returns to the Chinese Super League can these players stay, even if the salary is lower, at least they will have a face. But if Guangzhou wants to go back to CSL, they will only have a chance if the CSL team is disbanded.
The Football Association recently issued a new rule that teams relegated consecutively cannot add to their promotion. This is the first time Guangzhou team has been relegated since they entered the Chinese Super League, so the FA's new rule can't restrict Guangzhou team. In other words, Guangzhou can return to the Chinese Super League in the first place once the Chinese Super League team exits, as Wuhan Changjiang has disbanded in front of Guangzhou.
At the end of the 2022 season, the FA strongly stated that any wage arrears could not be resolved and that a few clubs would be left behind, with a time limit of the last day of 2022, December 31st. However, on the day December 31st came and went, the clubs with wage arrears remained quiet. The FA gave in again and postponed it to January 31st. A month passed and it seemed that the defaulting clubs still hadn't dealt with their arrears, so the FA's access was postponed to the last day of February.
In the blink of an eye, February 28th is coming! According to media reports, at least three clubs in the Chinese Super League are having a hard time solving their debt problems. If the Football Association does not delay the admission of these three clubs, then the only fate that awaits them is dissolution. Cold Ice's report didn't mention the names of the three clubs, but the fans of Shenzhen team and Guangzhou city know their difficulties. The Shenzhen team is billions of dollars in debt and two owners have been taken away for investigation.
If we give these three clubs a delayed entry, when will the 2023 Premier League season start? The FA can't afford to have delay after delay and completely lose prestige. If these three clubs are really disbanded, Guangzhou team should be prioritized to supplement the rules. But would the Guangzhou team be willing to come back? This is expected to be a question mark?
Firstly, the CPL is heavily invested; secondly, the players are limited and their confidence will only be kicked away in the CPL. If all the transfers that have been blown up by the media are called off, with one or two more foreigners, or naturalized players called back, they are expected to compete with other clubs. What do you think.
