Liverpool will pay Glen Johnston £120k a week. City will pay Gareth Barry £100k a week.
How, but how, can paying England's occasional right back (albeit a very good one) 20% more money than England's first choice defensive midfielder, place anybody -even a Spanish fathead with a limited grasp of the language (fact!) - on a high enough pedastel to lecture the Press and the footballing community, at large, about players being money mad?
And, don't you just know that he has his best blue shirt washed, pressed and covered in plastic should MH f**k up and the sheik give him na call...
englands best right back according to capello so i would say hes pretty much a regular now;)and to me thats a bit of a silly debate..its impossible to compare johnson and barry..imo of course johnson would earn more then barry at liverpool..he offers more to us then what barry would if he had come..even anybody with a bit of footballing sense would realise that a right back(better then any other rb already at the club) who will play week in win out will earn more then a defensive mid who isnt guranteed his game and is of a lower standard than the two midfielders we already have?!
and as for the last bit..if he turned down madrid i dont think he'd even comtemplate city im afriad:P
