Concerning Arsenal, very.
That's an awful lot of money.
The high wage will be justified due to the saving on the transfer fee I guess
Exactly. Lower transfer fee is always offset with a higher wage and agent fee.
That 400k probably includes bonuses. The base wage should be closer to 250-300k.
Good ol' Crossy, doing his part on behalf of the good ship Arsenal.
And the disbelief in every city fan / well wisher will be so,so worth it. Their arrogance is astounding and I can’t wait to do some serious trolling.

So now utd sign any player, his wages are going to be questioned. Do they think had sanchez gone to city, they were going to pay him in blessings from Jesus rather than a similar wage to what we are offering. Rubbish ABU media.
City fans will no doubt cry over the wages we'll pay. But it's ok, those chaps don't understand irony too well.
What?? He wants to join a tinpot club like Money United?!? Can't be true
Yes... Tea.
How do you know that ?
He is one of the go to journos for Arsenal
Years and years of reporting on them, and reporting on them correctly. He loves them.
Likely most of it guaranteed anyways. Key is contract length and transfer fee. All in all it's a relatively cheap total outlay for a player of his caliber in this market
Because I read Arsenal's fan forum now and then and they regard him as very reliable.
With the added bonus of fecking over both Arsenal and City. I'm starting to get on board the muppet train now. Choo choo
Assuming a 3.5 years contract and £25m to arsenal, you're looking at a total outlay of less than £100m(plus agent fees). For Alexis Sanchez, in a market were the cheapest alternative(of similar quality - Griezmann) would cost £90m in transfer fee alone
Importantly it says Arsenal are interested in Mhki and were previously too. And Jose has said in regards to Mhki that every player has a price (except Fellaini?). So if Arsenal accept Mhki then the crucial need for a replacement in January removes the final obstacle to a January move. City are stuffed, quadruply stuffed, we offer higher wages, higher transfer fee, higher agent fee and a desired replacement. Would be quite a statement signing this one if we pull it off.
They're signing Malcom apparenlty
It would certainly be a good piece of business.
£400 grand a week? I wish I had practiced more as a kid.
It'll be 600k before tomorrow, at the current rate of making things up.
Guardian says Mhki and Mirror says Malcom. Will be interesting to see which is right. I hope they take Mhki.
Didn't know a 20-year-old Brazillian's blessings were that cheap.
He's a great player but I really can't understand why you are paying him £700K a week.

Agreed.
950 grand a week is too much.
Don't forget about the 25m agent fee on top of that.
Never mind £800k a week wages, it's the £60m agent fee that I take issue with.
Ibra is on a similar wage. The increase in wage cost from signing Sanchez will be compensated by letting go of Ibra in the summer.
The other side of the Pep Effect.
is this 950K salary after or before tax ?
His tears are going to be the tastiest of all.
So it seems City are buying into their own hype a bit too much and thinking players choosing them over other teams is a given, how daft.
He's a Utd fan though, isn't he. Happy tears do taste good, especially in private.
The £85m signing on bonus is a bit much for a 33 year old.
