I thought the same re:Anzhi, but it seems that their footballing plan is a little different, mixing players and coaches specifically from the area, with particular footballers who believe in the project, of creating a footballing dynasty in Russia. Sure the money has something to do with it, but that's no different to the middle east money, american money. After all Money is only a certain motivation (X theory workers) according to McGregor's taxonmy of workforce.
dzsudzsak was one of the hottest transfer targets this close season, had won dutch footballer of the year 2 seasons in a row, and is young. Similarly Zhirkov wasn't picking up bad wages at Chelsea and had offers from the other big clubs in Russia. Yes eto'os wage packet is enormous (and basically zero tax) but he still is one of the top 5 strikers in the world and something more than money must attract him to the club.
Goal.com did a decent write upon them this last week.
