Navas is a world champion who Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Liverpool have tried to sign in the past. Castillo was a nobody in comparison who had flopped in the Ukraine by the time we loaned him. And Navas is actually taller than Silva, Cazorla and Mata who have settled in just fine despite being quite lightweight. Not every team is full of thugs like Stoke. :)

How they have managed to get the transfer fee and the wage so low is beyond me. Thats good for us anyway. Makes the player more motivated to do well, and saves us unnecessary spending which could be better spent elsewhere like for stadium improvements etc. :D

Yeah thats what I make it, around 50k euros a week.
My word if we can keep wages like that going for all our forthcoming signings we have stuck gold with Ferran and Txiki.
Plus, Txiki is using Barcelona's method of low wages high bonuses isn't he? That is such a better wage model.
Obvioulsy some of the bigger name players will want more, but keeping it at a respectable level is definately something we should be looking for in the future.
I haven't attempted to do the maths but the reports i read earlier are saying 2.5m net which would be considerably higher than 40k a week.
On the Barca documentary that was posted last week it was clear that Soriano likes performance based pay....although they were suffering from the possibility of making a loss should they win the league due to the bonuses.Saif1994 said:http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/jun/03/jesus-navas-manchester-city-signs-17m

Rammyblues said:Lets hope this paper are right regarding who we are signing.
Napoli forward Edinson Cavani, Malaga’s Isco, Sevilla’s Jesus Navas, Shakhtar Donetsk’s Fernandinho and Roma defender Marquinhos are Pellegrini’s five big targets, according to the newspaper.
One down 4 to go anybody know anything about this defender.

Net though, isn't it. Hardly anybody uses net figures when referring to salaries in the English media.sam-caddick said:Matt.D said:sam-caddick said:Yeah thats what I make it, around 50k euros a week.

2.5m euros a year divided by 52 weeks a year = around 48k euros
my maths isn't great mind.
