Rare for a journo to admit he doesn't know something. He's right, of course. No one outside of the club and the player will have the first clue what his wages are.

This is the thing, they never do but they'll chuck a few numbers out there and after a little while one just becomes accepted as fact. It's like when Lingard signed his new deal and people decided he's on £125k p/w, he almost certainly isn't but it's established now so that's it.

The press told us for years how Rooney was on £350k, then last week we were offering Sanchez that much and it was far and away the most we'd ever paid a player. Now the Sanchez wages have inflated 50%.

Didn't they say Rooney was on £300k but court documents that listed the details in Rooney's contract put it around £220k + potential image rights?

All true. The only time you can say with confidence what a player earns is if you've seen their wage slip. And that doesn't happen.

Unless you're John Arne Riise. In which case your wage slip is posted on the internet. :lol:

Just say it's happening. Why have to make it sound so difficult. They wouldn't talk about Sanchez and specially Mkhitaryan if this isn't already 99.99% done. Which it is. It's done and that's it.

When does any manager ever confirm a signing at a press conference before it’s formerly done?
 
Hope it's done today as it's just dragging on now and like wenger says, he will pick him on Saturday if he's still there

Please spare me from giving them a click but from the title can I assume that they are saying that they have "made a stance" on "moral grounds" which will increase PED Roidiolas divinity? All the while ignoring the herd of elephants in the room that they didn't get to buy yet another player for a huge sum?

A deal must be very close if Wenger is speaking so openly about it. Interesting too that he said wages aren't a problem with Mkhitaryan - that was supposedly holding up the deal.

Or Tevez's cleaner and post that up too.
 
Wenger on reported wages that are being bandied around....

"
I wouldn’t like to come out on the numbers, that’s a United problem.

I respect United because they generate the money they pay by their own resources.

United is a club very well managed financially and of course on the pitch so that’s why I don’t have any problem with the money they pay"

Hope that's true after the dog's abuse he was getting on here.
 
On Sanchez potentially getting £500,00-a-week at United
“I do not want to comment on the numbers they offer to Sanchez. I respect Man United because they raise the money they pay to players with their own resources. It’s up to them how much they pay.

“United is a club very well managed financially so I don’t have any problem with what they pay.”

He's been our cnut so much lately, I don't really feel any need to slag him off.

This transfer can not happen without floating the idea first to Raiola. So if this transfer transpires, he needs to be commended, not slagged off.
 
So according to the Telegraph, Sanchez will be the highest-paid player in the world, while if The Times are correct, he'll be the 4th highest-paid (behind Messi, Neymar & Lavezzi).

Tbf, if Wenger signs Micky, Auba and Evans, he's had a decent transfer window.

Agree. Mikhi and Auba trying to re-create their Dortmund days will be interesting. Evans will be a very good addition as well. Wonder what it does for Lacazette and Giroud though.

I thought Ronaldo was on over £500k/week, obviously I'm wrong.

Makes me think that the reported figures might not be too far off then.

That’s a classy response from Wenger.
