What the hell are you talking about? Demba Ba just refused the offer from Besiktas and moved back to China, does not look like he is craving for escape to me.
Burak gets more than 4 million per year, get your facts straight. He did not run away from China, he just had to move back due to unresolved family matters.
Talisca, a younger player and Cenk's ex team mate and future team mate if the deal goes through, doing fairly well. It all comes down to money, let's not fool ourselves with "getting better" and "making a name". Cenk has his chance to make a dent in Everton and looks like he struggles a quite bit trying to do it. Rather than turning into a full loss, selling him for 40 million is quite a good option.
Demba ba refused what offer? Besiktas offered less than anything and he choose to play at Goztepe first, after that season Besiktas offered nothing as money to him again.
Burak gets 3.5m euros per year and 11.500 euros for every point his team gets. Maybe it gets to 4 mil but he escaped from 8 m contract and plays for Trabzon?
Talisca was talented enough to play in europe so easy and he got the offers aswell but he choose china for what?
Higher wages and nothing more.
If a player wants more from football than "higher wages", china before 32 is not an option. That's straight facts.
Also If anyone thinks he will give up his ambition to be successful in EPL and EFC in this little period of time, they don't watch him working hard to prove himself after demba ba, mario gomez or aboubakar.
