Very likely to happen according to Chinese media. HAL clubs should take notice.

Further update: apparently he's already signed a year's contract with the Jets.

I fucking hope so.

I think i read that there were talks with him.



He's been on the outer at Beijing iirc anyway, not making ACL squads and the like(?).

He is just coming back from a long term shoulder injury. Beijing is finishing a disappointing season after winning the CSL the previous year. They may not even make it to ACL next year if the results of the last round don't go their way. They are getting a new coach and want to cull their foreign players. Ryan was not kept because he hasn't played much this year due to his injury and also they think he's too similar to Joel and only want to keep one of them. Joel was preferred because he has been the more prolific goal scorer.

would be a good signing by newcastle
