that gay ozzy rules newcastle kit, the hair, the memory of the tash.....it's all too much ROFL

Spurs will only be paying 60,000 of adebayor's 160k a week wages. I can't wait to see their end of year financials...financial fair play my arse.

WAC!

You mean Ronaldo or Drogba surely?

No, STEVEN GERRARD

...and don't call me Shirley

I'm not surprised city are having trouble getting rid of their players... the lads are earning bonkers money, why take a cut before the contract ends

It's not like man city will care if they leave on a free is it?

think City will have a whole squad of Bogarde's.
Bellamy, Santa Cruz, Adebayor, wright-Phillips, Zabaleta, Bridge, to name the most high profile.

Have a feeling, City will be paying their wages for years to come, and most have played their last games for the club.

Being able to offer astronomical wages, to get players to come to City, is now weighing heavy as the wages are the stumbling block to getting rid of players who no longer fit the managers plans...

Though I suppose most clubs would kill to have that sort of problem..

It's funny though that for the sake of their financials, they'd be better to let these players go for a lot less than people would think, given the players ammorisation in the company accounts.

There wage bill eclipsed all earnings last financial year, they've added to that this year, but thanks to their generous friends in the middle east, the corporate revenue continues to rise - coupled with more games and european football. The people running these clubs got where they are because they know how to get around regulations, the financial fair play will not stop these clubs, it will just increase their ingenuity it regulation circumnavigation!

Two shithouse cunts back together in the same team again

We're not signing Joey Barton and Lee Bowyer (yet again) are we?

The regulations themselves are full of holes to ensure UEFA favourites don't get caught up in it. Be interesting to see how Platini reacts to new found wealth at PSG

Bellamy - Approaching end of career anyway.
Santa Cruz - Off to Leicester hopefully
Adebayor - Nuff sed
Wright-Phillips once great player and a favourite, can still play if required
Zabaleta - A folk hero already, a squad player who can cover many positions
Bridge - Shite, but contract ought to be up soon.

Are Sean Goater and Kinkeh still on the payroll?

In many ways I wish Shaun Goater was.

oh yeah, that could be rather interesting twisting the knife into the prem clubs also tears them a new one...

so it looks like a 50/50 split on wages.

If Spurs were to finally open up the capp on their wages (which at £85k would do) then it would be interesting to see how they cope with current player unrest / new talent being brought in.

The option to buy Ade after the loan for only £12 million (3 years left on the contract) would suggest that the wage offset will pay off for both Spurs and City.

There's no guarantee that Ade would take a 50% wage cut next year, but it will put him back in the shop window for a year.

I can see city trying to push that through in time to play against Man U

SPurs will lose, thay always do. Even when they've a chance of winning the refs have to help united. It's the LAW.

I think it might well be wrapped up tomorrow. Might be too soon for him to play.

We'll see. He has an amazing scoring record at the lane.

5 games, 5 goals.

I know even when they're 3 up they still spunk it away, it's infuriating

so if the deal is done with Adebayor (not counting chickens just yet) does that mean Levy is going to accept Stoke's money and push put the door Crouch and Palacios?

The wages of their summer signngs leaves all that above rather moot

They'll all be off soon to Anzhi Makhachkala, the new kids on the silly-money block.

A team that has to pay so much because they are based in a region so dangerous that the players live and train over 1000 miles away in Moscow, and only go there to play home games.

They've already got Roberto Carlos, and are supposedly signing Eto'o, paying him £20M a year, making him the best payed sportsperson in history.

Jesus, that makes Tiger look like a pauper.
