£200,000+ a week.....

[qprjames]

Football is going crazy with wages like that

[Bigdave]

Its absolute b ollox. I used to have a soft spot for City, mainly due to their great support but i hope they have a s hit season now. Toure aint worth 200 large a week and the helmet who suggested paying him that should be ashamed of himself. Its a joke it really is, words cant describe how stupid City are for paying an average player that much money. ******s

[ollyhoops]

Well that is the going rate I'm afraid

[Bigdave]

How is that the going rate?

[Robsondinho]

yaya aint average.

[Youvebeenrangered]

200 odd k a week is mental, just madness.

A line needs to be drawn somewhere, fifa or whoever need to step in.

[G.T.P]

think this is the first step to the complete implosion of the premiership.

[Jeff]

yaya aint average.

just because he used to play for Barcelona, doesn't automatically make him world class.

Man City paid £30 million for him, and pay him £220k a week. for that you should be buying one of the best central / defensive / box to box midfielders in the world, and Toure simply aint that.

for that money they could have bought Danielle De Rossi, who is twice the player that Toure is...

yes, it is totally ridiculous - it's bad enough considering paying ANY player that much, but there are 100+ better players in the world than this bloke.

robbo i have to disagree that anyone is worth 200k a week. nobody on the planet is worth that, not even doctors n nurses n suchlike. Disgusting amount of money

[ollyhoops]

Yes but it's worth what someone is willing to pay, and they're paying it.

I remember 2 years ago on the TV someone said that soon you'll see the first £200k per week football player, and so here it is.

[EYR]

£200k a week and still wont by the rest of the villagers a fly swatter to share

[Yousef]

When a football club is owned by Bilionaires who know nothing about football, you get this kind of stupid payment. For Yahya, this an opportunity they may only come once so he grabbed it.

[Fawny]

I still think they should give these salaries with annual figures like everbody else, they should say £10.4 million per year.
I know it amounts to the same thing, but somehow when you hear players arguing about an extra 10 or 20 grand a week, you forget you are talking about an extra half a million or a million quid on their annual salary.
