Why are the press reporting "after tax" per week amounts? Is it so it sounds less? (United still have to pay nearly double and then let the taxman deduct)
I've seen a few players wage slips from City and they all pay tax in the normal way PAYE. (all have been at the highest rate)

I don’t subscribe to the Sánchez is greedy bandwagon.
He or his agent have unlikely asked for that salary. It’s been thrown at them.
Most humans would take it and secure theirs and their families futures.
When it comes to money you can never have too much.
What you have to ask is why didn’t rags just offer £50k per week more than what we were offering? Because he was happy to come to city at that time and even wait until summer.
However, when someone throws a ridiculous amount of money at you I challenge anyone to turn that down.
He would have probably even signed a new deal at Arsenal for that kind of money.
You can’t blame the player

The Average footballer in my opinion would want to earn decent money, but also win trophies, what good is telling your grand kids hey look I made 50 million pound out of football but won Jack shi*

Of course, I agree, the problem comes when the opportunity comes along and he has to decide between a comfortable rich future and a much more lucrative future based on certain financial contract rather than probability of trophies at a lower reward when approaching the end of his career.

open mic is at the comedy store Friday.
 
Not going to rationalize this. Would have liked to see him in blue and if the numbers discussed are right I can't blame him for going to Salford either. But the rags are miles behind us structurally and maybe this signing brings them closer, maybe not -- but it won't catch them up fully regardless.

What I'm happiest about is that we weren't held to ransom here if the stories are right. Joining City with the club's ambition, organization, team (management and players), facilities and generous money on offer should be an incredible package for any player. Our quality in all those regards are demonstrable facts. We've stuck by that and not sacrificed discipline at the negotiating table.

Not massively inflating the amount to get him, looked at another way, means we haven't sold that quality "total package" City offer to the player cheap. That's wonderful. And it's also a message to any other player or agent IMO.

He already has a comfortable future regardless, anyway can't say I wouldn't be happy to have seen him in a blue shirt, but the other side of the coin is the Rags could now have screwed themselves, any good player they now want, there agent will be asking for same or more than what sanchez will be getting, and won't be long before pegs door is getting battered down by current players agents

Personally I'd close it anyway, there's little or no comment about it now, just people arguing pointlessly, and people calling people out over whether they are blues or not.

Let people just comment about it in the rag thread, its not as if its not going to happen.

Oh and in the unlikely event it falls through we can piss ourselves laughing for quite a long time to come, though I'm going to do that anyway, just because of how much the greedy c*nt and his agent are fleecing them for.

Close the thread. Close the thread , Close the thread , Close the thread.
 
never liked the **** when he arsed us about waiting for barca to come in for him when at udinese.

now he's just getting on my tits.
 
Disappointing to miss out on Sanche for the third time but it's nothing to be concerned about. They are going to struggle to get him off their wage bill in the future
 
I love the fact that the club stayed true to her principles and would not pay Hazard and Isco agents' outrageous demands. I also love the fact that one of those players has been the best player in England for a couple of years now. We are City we don't budge.

Yes we need to "massively" improve you're right, 2nd in the PL simply isn't good enough.

Has @RomfordBob seen where his bigger brand Liverpool are in comparison to us who, according to him - have got a lot of work to do globally to catch them up?
