It was almost a year ago when Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber made it clear he wasn't too worried about the big-spending ways of the Chinese Super League. He didn't consider it a threat and insisted that it wasn't something for MLS to concern itself with until the CSL showed it could keep up that high level of spending over the course of multiple transfer windows.
Well here we are, two transfer windows later, and the Chinese League's spending isn't slowing down. In fact, the recent acquisition of Brazilian star Kaka and reported bid for Carlos Tevez have pushed the Chinese League into even higher levels of spending.
