Yeah, 18m sounds like little. I guess it's possible some shenanigans or bonuses might be involved, but 18m for one of the best strikers in the world would be a bargain.

I'm still sad we're letting him go.

I like Gomez but I tihink he shares the same fate as Torres. They both have incredible abilities but play in systems that doesn't fit them. In possession football all their abilities become useless and I think Guardiola told him so.

It's always sad when young and talented players leave the club but Bayern might get Lewandowski in the end.

In a few years time the Moyes train will have decimated United and these United fans will scatter never to be heard from again.

The worst that could possibly happen is that we sink to the condition of Arsenal.

Or Liverpool, their companion in "one or two or three puzzle pieces away from glory" stupidity.

It was just a bit of light hearted cheek. I expect Moyes to be fine and he'll get fired if things go too badly anyway. United's board actually has balls, unlike Arsenal's.


You'll never sink to Liverpool's level. Liverpool are a joke. They fail to hold onto Suarez this summer and their season is screwed before it starts, again.

#BasedKinnear is at it again:

“I’ve been a manager for 35 years. I’ve been Manager of the Year. I’ve won every award there is in football as a player. “I think all those qualities put me head and shoulders above every other director of football.”

“Some directors of football have never played the game,” “I’m lending my experience as a manager for all those years – 10 years at Wimbledon, two years at Nottingham Forest, two years winning promotion at Luton and, of course, almost two years at Newcastle.”

Diaby and Chamakh loooooool. What are we thinking.

I like Diaby, but he should not be paid £60,000 a week, that's bonkers.

Don't care about Chamakh, guy's complete shit.

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere is excited by the possibility of Rooney joining the Gunners.
"If it happens, it would be amazing," the 21-year-old told ESPN FC. (external) "He's the type of player who can win you trophies.
"Just to see his name on the team sheet brings fear to the opposition. We could do with a little more of that."

I think I actually want this to happen. Rooney barely kept himself in shape under Fergie, it would be fascinating to see how Wenger would handle a fat bastard like him.

You're just learning his wages now? You been under a rock or something. This has been discussed before and known for quite some time.

I thought he was on 60k a week.

It's a poor reflection on Arsenal that they're paying him that much.

Just as bad as United and Anderson.

Chamakh? Who? 3m euros per year for a guy that played four matches?

Get your shit together Arsenal.

It's not that simple. He was signed on a free so his wages were inflated for that and at the time we had no fit strikers. His Arsenal career started quite brightly but then RVP recovered from his injury woes and Chamakh was pushed to one side ever since.


He's now entering his last year now anyway so soon we will be rid of the leech. I'm sure we will loan him to remove some of the cost.

They all earn more than Arturo Vidal.

Not sure if sad or brilliant.

Just to make this clear: Arsenal is paying Chamakh more than what Thomas Müller makes at Bayern*? I'm sorry, I can't get over that. Get rid of him, I like Arsenal and I want to see them recover and crush the opposition.

*At least his official salary in 2012.

And he still has one year more on his contract. :(

I think Rodallega is the most shocking one. WTF has he ever done to earn that wage? I'm stunned Fulham are paying that.

I was looking at a blog post about Chelsea wages and it said this.

This is sourced from the latest version of the Sports Interactive football management simulation game, Football Manager, who have access to the official wage figures from Premier League clubs.

Surely that's not true?

Chamakh on 93k per week?

Who the fuck negotiates contracts for Arsenal.
Click to expand...

Players who are signed on a Bosman generally have a big signing on fee that is spread out over the length of the contract. Maicon, Ade and Chamakh all were free transfers, so their wages are inflated higher than what their actual salaries are. Not really fair to use players on free transfers in a list like this.

He was a free transfer as well.

For more accurate injury information they also have legal access to the NHS archives for the player, their children and parents. How else would we know which STD's Cole is carrying around?
