Under Rooney.
Nobody gets more than Wayne Rooney.
Think he's getting the 8m a year that he wanted at Madrid. Not too sure though.
Does it really matter how much Di Maria is on if he's a world class players in his prime? Not like this is a 30 year old Joe Cole or anything. And Rooney had a highest earner clause so they'll be level if Di Maria was to earn more.
Either way it's - on the face of it - a fantastic signing. Unless ADM does an Ozil or a Mata in which case it's a fucking disaster. But I really can't see that happening.
United's spending continues to skyrocket.

Mats Hummels and Benatia as CB partners and Vidal Herrera and Mata and midfield partners
please reread my post
Herrera is the only definite starter in midfield.
So Di Maria, Herrera and probably Fletcher/Carrick.
Need to buy De Jong.

Yeah, but then we also could have gotten Eriks
18,76m € to be precise.
Fucking hell, that's almost as bad as the 12m € for Götze.
Dortmund was never really interested in Eriksen, that's what Klopp said.
Isco on the other hand was clearly someone they wanted and his clause wasn't that far off from Miki.
Not suprisingly, he went to Madrid though :<

No surprise Ben Davies can't get into the side ahead of Danny Rose. £10 million is an awful lot to offer competition for a left back.
I have a chuckle every time I see your avatar.

Have to wait til Monday to make it official I think. Maybe even Tuesday if the relevant FA guys get Bank Holidays off
Thought it was 240k basic? Still, not sure where Pennywise is getting his figures from.
Not that it even fucking matters.

The wage bill at United which can be freed up even more (all figured in pounds):
Marouane Fellaini: 80k
Tom Cleverley: 70k
Anderson: 60k
Ashley Young: 118k
Nani: 90k
Zaha: 35k
Hernandez/Welbeck: 75k
That is: 528k/week
That is enough to buy 3-4 WORLD CLASS players at 175k-130k/week

My understanding is, 250k/week basic + cut of commercial deals, equates to 300k/week
Yes, completely fucking overpaid. Moyes did this.

Di Maria.. just end it already. I can't believe this but fuck it, just go.
4-4-2 doesnt work at United for many a reason. Like Cartoon said City have quality midfielders who can control a game and get up and down the pitch which United's midfielders can't. They also have younger and quicker forwards to help build the play. Rooney doesn't work as a SS/CF anymore he just doesn't have the pace he had 6-7 years ago. Go look at a United game from like 2006 or 2008 and you'll see how much quicker and faster Rooney was back then, he lost more then just a gear. And of course the last part is our wingers are absolute shit. They are not feared by any defenders, they do not take on any defenders, they do not push the tempo at all and just pass sideways and backwards slowing things down.
4-4-2 died when we lost Ronaldo and Tevez.
Yes. 4-3-1-2 or 4-3-2-1 suits us much better. Lets us drop Young and Valencia while adding numbers to the midfield, and lets us field more of our attacking players.

I'm betting my ass you spenks are getting confused with the currencies aren't you
What players earn is a moot point if the club can afford it and they provide value for their money, which given last season is much harder to justify for most of them. I enjoy a big signing, this is good news, better news is it looks like Gaal is serious about promoting youth so we should still remain at our core a club that plays and promotes their youth players. I would hate it if every window we brought in a 60m player and became something, which I believe, we are not.

Yeah, I heard that too. I'm just saying that we could've easily gotten quite the same player type as Isco im Eriksen. He even gave interviews where he admired Dortmund and all that.
See, but I don't remember Klopp saying anything about Isco, about missing out on him or whatnot (not that there was a way for us to sign him). I just don't really think we were in the market for such a player type. But then maybe Klopp always had Gündogan in mind to fill in that role if needed and still is holding on to that idea (with Jojic taking that place in the meantime). I dunno..

No.
250k pounds/week basic salary

Will never be able to comprehend this. At no point in his career was Young good enough to demand 118k. His agent must have had something on Sir Alex.

This new manager is exactly what Spurs needed I think.
They still should buy a new proper CF and some back 4 reinforcements.

okay just called, it's Lady Gaga! Early Sept
Lady Gaga is defo better than Rihanna to me :lol why the fuck are you so interested though
I'm too lazy right now, but as far as I know they tried to get him.
It was pretty clear he wanted to Madrid.
His clause was just 30m which would have been okay, since he's a pretty versatile player.
The chance was never that high, but they tried it.
Pls.
I'm not used to that weird weekly wage system, but I looked on several sites.
And as Cartoon and Clegg pointed out, it's most likely 240-250k £ basic salary plus these commercial cuts.
It adds up to 300k £ which is roughly the yearly wage I was talking about.

NO
We've got Jese, Isco and James vying for spots on the bench, that's enough AMs!
but...
GET ME RADAMEL TIO FLOOOOOOO
To "free them up" you need to find someone stupid enough to take over the wages, otherwise you'll be paying their wages in their new club. City just stopped paying Adebayor this summer.
