Sadly that's the going rate these days! I'd rather look at it as a positive move for the club with them sorting out a key players contract quickly, it was running out next year wasn't it?
On one of the legs on my world tour I was flying Emirates and so they have some "Arsenal World" programme. Watched a bit but it was awful. It was about the US tour and one of the players said something like how players like to go to America to boost their "brand". Brand!Modern football

That is probably before tax I reckon. Well, whatever small amount he will pay after his accountants have pushed through every feasible loophole.
Excellent news if true.
Obscene wages but with the money coming into the game constantly on the rise, wages are bound to follow. It won't be long before any club in the PL can chuck 100k+ at a player.
It is the going rate but would it kill them to use some of that money to, you know, give the fans a break and reduce prices a bit?
The bubble will pop at some point, and TV revenue will dry up.
People are already cancelling subscriptions. I hope these media giants get absolutely buttfucked.
One saving grace for Arsenal (I hope), is with all that money we don't spend, we won't suddenly go down the shitter. If you're not oil funded, you're fucked otherwise.....if it all goes pop, it'll be every club bar the top few that die miserably.
Hopefully Stoke first.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Bale just signed a deal worth £600,000 per week before tax.
