Tel was earning twice Savinho's salary at Bayern
Stupidly glad that we made it to 3,300 posts.
Chapeau all!
Chapeau all!
Why does everyone want to play for Liverpool? What is the appeal?
City won 6 titles in 8 years, Liverpool have won 2 in 30 odd. What makes them a bigger draw then City or Woolwich?

Authenticity.
I struggle believing Savinho’s wages. They hid loads of Haaland transfer fee and wages in sign on bonuses. They must have done that with Savinho
Really? Hmm...
Spot on they are fake figures.
city are on a bit of a decline and have massive legal problems over their heads, before that they were the biggest draw in the country.
MGW ? Really? Yes we prepared to pay £60m. It doesn't make him a £60m player
We spent £165m on Johnson, Richarlison and Solanke. They are not players to win you the league.
It's really not only about how much you spend.
Son, Modric, Bale, Berbatov even VdV none of them cost too dollar.
Clearly not everyone as Trent has just had his acrimonious exit from there and both Caicedo and Lavia mugged them off for Chavs a couple of summers ago. It's not difficult to see the project is an easier sell with a PL title under the new manager to kick off the new post-Klopp era and quell any concerns that the team will spend years in the wilderness trying to find the next project. That's without mentioning that City and Woolwich have been trying to cover the spread more with their spending, neither have done a deal approaching anything close to the value of either Isak or Wirtz so it's questionable to say that the likes of City and Woolwich even had those players on their radar, as far as Ekitike I just think all the big clubs had their primary striker targets lined up early doors and the deals took time to close.
2025 transfers: Liverpool most active in record-breaking market - CIES Football Observatory

He was basically on his first contract at Minero at less than £1k per week, signed for City Group, passed about their clubs, then basically had an internal transfer to Man City. Earning £2m+ per year would have probably seemed insane to him.
I don't see why people think clubs like City would automatically put any old donkey on £100k+ automatically; that's how clubs like united get stuck with bad signings.
I think people just get too caught up in the sensationalising by the media of what footballers earn at the so-called 'big clubs'. There's been interviews with players who've come back from the saudi leagues and confirmed that the 'reported' salaries are all marketing and media, and they earn similar wages to the PL but with the benefit of no tax, which gets 'translated' to bonkers numbers.
He was one of Europe’s hottest properties after leading Girona to the Champions League.
There’s absolutely no chance that’s all he’s earned from City after the move. They will have given him a FAT sign on bonus.
He was on loan at Girona from City Group. The move to Man City was a proxy and totally different to what you're describing in a normal situation.
On loan from Troyes but they still paid a fee to move him to City.
Don’t change the point that those wages are a reporting quirk and he’s earning more.
Hes a full Brazil international ffs
And most of those team in the Premier League that aren't in Europe will still play weakened teams in the League Cup and FA Cup to rest players for Premier League games.
Yeah it's the European titles the whinging bitches have won
It (the community) is closer to Tottenham than all other relevant football clubs.
The only people I hate are haters, Sol Campbell and maybe Eze now too. Back stabbers.
