Messiah - We are the Wigan of
the top 4 (money wise)
Barcelona of top 4 football wise
-------

Spurs are about as similar to Barcelona as Spurs are to Wolves.

I started this as a serious thread but ok thanks boys. I think that RVP going to City for big money will be just as big a mistake as the others from last season.
3rdplace,have you always had all the charm of a warthog?

Yesterday in MOTD2 , they were saying that Tevez + Yaya Toure's wages = Full Swansea Squad's wages

Doesnt suprise me at all, its the only reason players like that have even signed for man city in the first place

Their squad will split up soon.
Why do you hope Modric goes to Chelsea,wouldn't you prefer him to stay at the top?

The transfer values are market IMHO.
The WAGES are definitely not.
That is why Tevez cannot be shifted. And neither will Adebayor. Unless things get real.

"I hope RVP goes Man City"

And if he goes vaguely mercenary on his wages, <Citeh> cannot afford him unless they massively slash their wage bill.

Money or not I think he'll be making a mistake by going there. Even if he does like at Arsenal he won't win anything.

===============================
Yeah but if the rumours are true and City is willing to pay RVP £210k/week, things are not about to get real any soon.
I am an Arsenal fan and big fan of RVP but I mean £210k/week for an injury prone?

If Gareth Barry is on £120k a week then someone like Van Persie should be on at least double regardless of being injury prone

===================================
And been subbed after only 37 minutes!

£210K p/w is just silly. Arsenal should offer him £150k p/w (which is also silly) and that should be enough.

I still think that all RVP wants to see is a big signing showing the intent of Arsenals ambition.

But hey, £30m for a player at 29 and injury prone. Will think about it.

I can only imagine what players like Yaya, Silva, Aguero must think when they have to play with that lump of carp in the middle of the field

posted on 12/3/12

Well you are paying for the player in his prime.
Which RVP has been this season. Yes he comes with injury baggage but he is still worthy of wage parity with most <Citeh> players.

If they add to the bill, they must by definition clear out to balance the books and remain within the UEFA FFP boundaries.

It only takes a couple of Adebayors on their books, and they will bleed money big time (hooray for charidee ) .

I just cant see how its possible for Man City to balance their books in the near future

There is no way on earth any team is going to pay the wages some of those players are on. Its just plain stupid and one day sooner rather than later its all going to back fire on them

====================================
Agreed with you Serial. To be completely honest, RVP has been an Arsenal player for 7 years now and this is by miles, he best season ever!
He might repeat it.... but I doubt it. really doubt it.

"I just cant see how its possible for Man City to balance their books in the near future"

Indeed.

The issue was never the transfer sums, but their obscene distortion of the WAGE market. Any player who is happy to sit there and leech from the wage bill with little or no chance of regular play, is a nightmare.
