Transfers - summer 09

[Silver Fox]

real madrid have ruined football.
football is dead.
1992-2009
RIP.
the saviour of football has turned to the darkside.

I think you might have mentioned this before and to be honest it was a pretty gimp thing to say the first time

[Alivey]

the reason he has gone there is for money.

Kaka was on €6.1M after tax at AC Milan. To match that Real Madrid will have to pay a weekly salary of €144,000 before tax (23% tax).

Do Real Madrid still take 50% of their players sponsorship money?

my point being:

1. He is already one of the highest earners in world sport.
2. His overall earnings may not move that much (apart from the signing on fee)

that is disgusting amount of money... we are in a recession.. and hes making that much!!

[Harry Carry]

Thing is, we all know Real wont win anything!

You really have to LOL at Hull City.

45k a week for a young striker that hasn't proved he can cut it in the Premiership. £6m too, just for the privilege.

I don't think it's appropriate to LOL, merely to shake our heads in disbelief and gear up for when they go bust.

Did great for Hull in the Championship, not given a chance at Spurs, Hull fans love him. £6m for a young English striker his hardly massive amount. He'll score 10 league goals next season.

Bookies in Italy have suspended betting on Ibrahimovic joining Barcelona. Interweb rumours (they are deffo never wrong) suggest that Eto'o may be heading the other way.

[Huntley & Palmer]

Ibrahimovic.. sooooo overrated.

A racist's John Carew one might say?

Won't happen. He'll come to England if he moves anywhere IMO.
