It's because of their Chinese links, innit.

They signed Hao Haidong, one of China's greatest-ever players, and then never picked him.

Jihai played well at this level, though.

Ten years ago.

        I really like that Paddy Kenny too. (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Sep 19, 15:56:33
        
        Although not popular with us (NCFC) - pants, Sep 19, 15:58:20

        Same here. They have a couple of decent players. Killgallon is a defender (NCFC) - Brandonio, Sep 19, 15:54:36
        
        But not better than Stefanavic or Kennedy!? (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellow Ice, Sep 19, 16:02:56
        
        Afraid so, as much as we have decent defenders, Kilgallon at present (NCFC) - pants, Sep 19, 16:12:13
        
        Killgallon is better than Stef and JFK... (NCFC) - Rofl_Harris, Sep 19, 16:16:08

        haha (NCFC) - pants, Sep 19, 16:25:04
        
        Stefanavic brings so much to the team in way of calmness and experience (NCFC) - Yellow Ice, Sep 19, 16:14:24
        
        I guess (NCFC) - pants, Sep 19, 16:16:06

        Didn't you directly compare Koroma with Chris Martin a couple of days ago? (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Sep 19, 15:48:25

        I wasn't really directing it at you (NCFC) - camcan, Sep 19, 16:15:44
        
        You directly compared them in terms of settling at clubs (NCFC) - pants, Sep 19, 16:06:12

        apologies TH (NCFC) - Rofl_Harris, Sep 19, 16:27:42
        
        he's not the only one saying it though (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 19, 15:46:45
        
        thing is, unless we win with these 'not our' players (NCFC) - camcan, Sep 19, 15:53:27
        
        QUACK! (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 19, 15:47:10
