Re: Yaya signs new 4 year contract on the OS now

Personally think him signing a new contract is unrelated to the safety of Bob's job.

Yaya knows the game. It's all business.

True enough. Its about whats in it for Yaya and fuck all else. Which is fair enough

So Aguero, Tevez, Toure, Silva, Nasri all earning 150k Plus and none of you care or think that they maybe are not worth it (Nasri & Toure)

Hmmm

How can anybody take an English Barca fan seriously?

All those homegrown lads play for free at Barca.

In all seriousness they do have a higher caliber of player to us but we have to pay big wages as we're still developing. And our wage bill is about to be lowered quite significantly with the new contract structure, so many freeloaders like RSC and Bridge soon to be off the books, and Soriano/Begiristain's apparent wish to replace high earning fringe players with lower earning players of high quality.

Best news of the season. Reckon he'll get better and better with age for as long as his legs can move.

Re: Yaya signs new 4 year contract on the OS now

Adrian Durham already trying to jack his wage up on talk sport, of his logic because he was on 220K a week (Myth I Know) he is now on 300K. Unbelievable, don't want to jump on the Agenda Bandwagon But when have you ever heard Rooney's Wage or RVP's? Never. Stewart Brennan Tweeted that Yaya's Deal is estimated to be around 44 Million Over 5 years so thats around 8.8Million a year and around 170K a week, less than the reported 220K and less than Durham's 300K ;)

It's actually a 4 year deal(not 5) so if the £44 million is anywhere close then thats actually around £210K a week.

Edit:- presumably that's only if we win EVERYTHING.

And less than what Rooney earns

And... unless you are a rag, whose actually bothered about the wages. Yaya is our modern day Colin Bell IMO, truly world class and long may he remain a blue. Rags will be concerned.

Fucking great news....Some don't appreciate how good he is.

Chalk up another one for MCRJON. Proper ITK.

I would like us to stop referring to not winning things for a long time before the FA Cup victory though. It's almost some sort of odd justification for under performance.

Fantastic news, I've been saying for ages now, Barcelona never realised his full potential for pushing forward.

Great news, the power house of our midfield, and on his day simply unplayable!
