According to the Independent.

S Eto'o (Anzhi)£330,000
W Rooney (Man Utd) £250,000
Z Ibrahimovic (PSG) £240,000
C Ronaldo (Real Madrid)£215,000
Y Touré (Man City) £200,000
R van Persie (Man Utd) £200,000
S Aguero (Man City)£200,000
L Messi (Barcelona)£180,000
F Torres (Chelsea) £175,000

United players more than keeping up with the Joneses.

I doubt Aguero is on 200k, it's Tevez probably

... Silva should be on the list though.

City have already said that Tevez is our top earner when he put in his transfer request.

aguero was signed after that and i have a recollection that yaya penned a new deal as well (although i might be wrong)

read somewhere that City's top earners were on 198kpw.

That fits in with this article

Does our Lionel know we could double his wages?!?!

Absolutely no way this is accurate.

Don't ever remember Yaya signing a new deal we've no reason to speak to him about one yet either.

I was told by someone who saw his contract that Rooney was offered £180k after he put his transfer request in. Also there were a few other rag players who had 'parity' clauses in their contracts giving them parity with the highest paid player.

Anyway, as we all know, the rags play for love not money and are only paid salaries to keep the rags tax bill down. They donate every penny to their pet charity The Glazer Foundation for Skint Billionaires (Hon President T. Shinawatra).
