Another point , they destroy the market prices with wonderland transfer-fees. But they are not the only ones.

Both myths.

Former Ballon d'ors, one breaking goal scoring records left, right and centre and payed back all that was spent on him in one season..... the other typical Beckham buy from Perez to please fans

City on the other hand would pay 30 mill for Albiol and give him 10 mill on wages ffs

You bought Milner for 18m,Lescott for effin 22m,Adebayor for 25m,An old out of form Kolo Toure for 16m,Robinho for 30 something million Laughing

,Jo for 18m and finally The best one:Roque Santa Cruz for 17.5 million Laughing

by animal.crackers Mon May 07, 2012 5:19 pm

Fact, is no one really knows how much our players make.

If you want to believe tabloid figures, that's your prerogative.

One week Yaya makes 180k, the next week 220k, and last night on MOTD, apparently he was on 280k a week.

I don't really care, though.

by halamadrid2 Mon May 07, 2012 5:19 pm

Robinho was the best piece of business Clownderon did in his entire time with us

Sure. No one is disputing that, but that was in the past.

That was at the stage in our development, when we really needed better players, and clubs were robbing us because we had money.

Not only that, but you can blame Mark Hughes for these inflated figures as well. Thank *bleep* that he's gone.

And honestly, Robinho was worth it. Most City fans think that he paved the way for all the other stars to come to City.

Adebayor did confirm that he makes £220k. FRAKKIN ADEBAYOR!!!!

by animal.crackers Mon May 07, 2012 5:24 pm

Adebayor doesn't make 220k. Tevez is our highest paid player.

well if it came from them, its usually true as much as you'd like to deny it

I meant the Bridge wage btw and not the Albiol part

City pay less in wages than Barca :coffee:

What a bitter *bleep*.

We blew 5 points to you.
You blew 8 points to us...because let's face it, you aren't very good. United is shit. Most teams see the name Manchester United, and bend over for you.

When underdog teams actually try to play you, like Benfica, Basel, Everton, Wigan, etc, they end up exposing your team.

This is our first crack at the title, of course, it was difficult for us. I shouldn't have to explain the reasons why.

Do give your explanations. Laughing

by halamadrid2 Mon May 07, 2012 5:27 pm

Barca players deserve every penny they get, what do people like Dzeko and Nasri deserve???? sure as hell not the amount of money as they are getting now

by animal.crackers Mon May 07, 2012 5:27 pm

To be fair, Guardian do have a pretty good track record, but its not like The Independent or something.

They do write some unfounded things as well.

Difference is, the Barca players deserve those wages(Messi, Alves, Xavi, etc).

by animal.crackers Mon May 07, 2012 5:28 pm

Tevez, our highest paid player, makes a definite £198,000 a week. Which emerged and were calculated a result of the fines he received during his AWOL.

Before this, papers were saying he was on £250,000 a week. Now, most of them have got their numbers correct. Even the same ones that were reporting different wages.

Not aware of that tbh, just curious do you have a link to one??

"The other week, one of the lads told him that he had not paid his £50 fine for being the worst player in training on a Friday morning. One of the lads said to him: 'Bloody hell, Ade, you are on 200 grand a week and you can't afford to pay a £50 fine!' He replied: 'Don't insult me, it's 225!'." - Harry Redknapp http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1008059/harry-redknapp:-emmanuel-adebayor-must-take-pay-cut-to-join-spurs?cc=5901

Make that £225, then. Laughing

How can that be the case, when everyone know Yaya is the highest payed player in the League???

by animal.crackers Mon May 07, 2012 5:35 pm

Redknapp never said that.

It's quoted, mate. I watched the video too(one of those videos that play on the right hand side of football websites).

by animal.crackers Mon May 07, 2012 5:38 pm

Yes, he is the highest paid player at the club at present.

People wrongly assume it is Yaya, but he would have to win every trophy in sight to bring his dough past Carlitos.

LOL why don't you at least do some research? Yaya is on EVERY SINGLE "highest paid players" list in the top 10 on basically any website you can find. I'm not saying whether he deserves his pay or not. Just correcting you.
