Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Cripps_orig]

Yeah but you don't pay anything in transfer fees so you can spend more on Wages. In return you get a proven quality striker who would instantly improve our side. You know the Arsenal side with one striker in the squad currently.

You forgot Giroud.

Spending more on wages is fine but he's on nearly £300k a week.

£14m.

a year.

That's wages, not the fee. And it's £7mill tax free, some are quoting £14mill on that basis which would make the tax rate 100%, steep even for these tory bastards. It'll be around £10mill or less depending on how good his accountant is. Then there are probably a bunch of clauses related to appearances etc. If they get a year out of him and he's still got anything left they'll have done well. Even if he's shite he'll be better than Torres.

Cunt isn't filtered anymore.

So that's why I can see his posts, was wondering.

Yeah you're right, tax actually is 100%

Yeah you're right, tax actually is 100%

So he's getting paid nothing.

Awesome.

Its not that easy, I followed Arsenal since the 79 Cup Final and fell in love with this club, even cost me my marriage. I still love this club but I hate the people who are stealing from within and making a mockery of our club. I drank in a pub in Limerick last summer with some local folks, and do you know what our nickname is in Ireland? 'The Bank of fcukin England' thats what they actually refer to when you mention Arsenal. Hence the reason why Wenger has made over £100 Mill in salary and bonus and transfer commisions in 16 years! Is that a person who looks after the best interest of the club? We are a fcuking oil mine with vast resources yet I want to know where has ll the money gone?

1/ Transfer fees paid to us? Over £150 Mill
2/Commercial deals/Sponsorships money? Over 200 Mill
3/ Sale of the property at Highbury? Over £75 Mill?

All gone to the manager and board, while these rich bastards are getting richer by the day, they neglect the playing side in to a bunch of cuunts.

You can't hate the vampire cunts in charge any more than I do but there's a difference between rightly hating those vermin and banging on about the spuds all the time. Everyone is feeling the frustration to varying degrees, it's daylight robbery after all. But I'm assuming we'll push those bastards to one side and get behind the team big time on the weekend?

Awesome.

The reports are he's getting £7mill a year with tax paid on top. So how does that come to £14mill?

tax is 50% isnt it? well 50% if you earn over a certain amount. cant remember exactly what is off top of my head but eto'o wages will go miles over that. so if he wants 7 million a year after tax. then he has to be paid 14million a year as tax will be 50%. half of 14 is 7. unless its different for forgeiners?
