Bad news today is the injury to Zheng Zhi and that would also confirm why he had a bit of a stinker against Ipswich. I cant quite get my head round the fact that the club has not exploited his marketing potential. According to newspaper reports Zi Zi is the David Beckham of the far East and his career is followed by millions in China alone. If I was a foreign investor especially buying a Championship club which lacks the exposure of the Premiership, I would insist that any high profile players remain with the club. Unlike NYA I think Zi Zi will still be with the club after January and could one of the clubs major assets for the new owners . Zheng Zhi skills are far more suited to a slower, more skillful premiership, than a hectic, manic Championship league.
Zheng Zhi is China's Zidane
ZHENG ZHI lives a bizarre double life between being the most famous footballer in China ? and a virtual unknown in England.
The exception over here, of course, is whenever he decides to stroll through London’s Chinatown.
Yet the midfielder, on loan from Shandong Luneng, is proving to be a hit at struggling Charlton.
The Chinese skipper, whose fan club has over 100,000 members, can play defence and midfield and lists Zinedine Zidane as his biggest hero.
Cardiff Away
What a difficult game and the pressure will be on the team to perform and we become a lot more attractive to prospective buyers if the clubs name appears near a play-off spot in the league table.
Optimistic a s ever Cardiff 1 Charlton 3 Varney 2 Hudson
Come on you Reds.

i agree zizi could of been a key player this season, its unfortuante that he is injured, as i was looking foward to seeing how he linked up with baily
I totally agree,the marketing potential for zizi is mind boggling if you really think about it.To sell him now when it looks like we will soon be able to afford to keep him would be insanity!
Karim Bhageri was the Zinadine Zidane of the middle east, did not get too far
Zi Zi is good player but is more suited to the Premiership. When he is playing at the Valley I do notice quite a few Chinese Fans attending.
Marketing potential on TV rights in China- unlimited.
