Was just watchin the Patrick Vieria press conference at Man City there and couldnt help but be reminded of when he signed for Arsenal. He had come from AC Milan where he didnt exactly make the grade. The same for Henry when he went to Juventus... Im sure they and the Arsenal fans are glad that Wenger wasnt so quick to write off young players as others are
i heard that he is getting 150k a week?! wtf, he is 33, the lad would have come for half that. what are they at at city?
is it just to show off that they can do it and then entice bigger players?!
yeah its madness, I cant understand that sort of wages when he was looking to sign to get first team football in the run up to the world cupQuote:

It's more than that gilberto, according to an anonymous player not only did the first team not get paid (I agree, boo-hoo), the reserves didn't get paid, the youth team didn't get paid, the staff didn't get paid.
A lot harder for all of them to get through the holidays without their wages
Ah fair enough didn't really consider the other teams in the clubs, just didn't like the way they were putting it across on the sports news, they're hardly stuck for it.Quote:

The information is not publicly available as there are rights to privacy under UK employment law. As there are no salary restrictions on Premier League clubs they have no requirement to disclose the information except where they are publicly quoted companies in which case they will only reveal an aggregate compensation number but there is no way of breaking it down to individual players.Quote:

But, as Ruud Gullit might interject ...... gross or net?
I was watching Goals on Sunday today and Tony Adams was saying that we was in Milan over Christmas and he was with Viera and as far as Viera was concerned he was ready to pack it in or move to the MLS! His eyes must of popped out of his head when he saw the money he was being offeredQuote:

Very encouraging stuff
Do you mean 150k a year? Even Frank Lampard doesn't make 150k a week.Quote:

Took his goal well, but doesn't look comfortable on the wing.
follow up from a save from a Rodallega shot.
Delighted for the lad, two goals in two games
Good man James!
With the sending off, McCarthy has moved into centre of midfield.

You're hearing things!Quote:

All over now. Overall, McCarthy did well for his first team debut. He's comfortable on the ball, works very hard and can play anywhere in midfield (although I wouldn't put him on the wing by choice). My only negative would be that he looked knackered at the end, so he'll probably need to improve the fitness.
Not sure he's quite ready for a full international debut, although I have no doubt that he'll definitely be in the squad for the Euro 2012 qualifiers.
the missed penalty in the first half was given for a foul on McCarthy.Quote:

Looks like an incredible player, I can't understand the doubters on here.
