Thing is, the guy is 27 and playing the best football of his life (I still keep thinking about that dummy kick he did against West Ham. Semen inducing). He's clearly someone who loves to play football, and seems to constantly want to better himself. He's not gonna get that in China, is he? And I don't think it comes down to professional credibility. It comes down to ambition and the love of the game. What does he want to achieve and where?
If he went to China his quality would dip massively and quickly, and that would affect his position playing with Chile. And he's someone who gives his all when playing for Chile.
I honestly don't think he'll go and is just using it as his trump card for more wages.
