So standard wage + image rights + bonus = well in excess of £500k everyone is blathering on about, its a huge deal no matter what way people try to justify it.

For what its worth it doesn't really matter imo, you can afford it and you've earned the right to spend it but dont try and convince yourself that its anything other half a bar a week +

Wasting your time mate. United could come out themselves and say how much he earns and other fans will still call it bks.

Because the club have a vested interest. Come on stop being naive.

And why is it of interest so much to journos? Would they like their salaries plastered all over the press? It's a non story and I don't see why it's of seemingly huge importance!

tbh i'm pleased with this move - could really be the catalyst united need.

been saying for years how we've needed some spark, a cantona moment to unpick defences, the world class pass or flick - this could well be that time again...

i feel for miki but i fear the PL is just a bit too physical for him to perform consistently week in week out.....

[Gavia]

It’s OK, I’m sure Spurs will be able to continue playing their players tuppence ha’penny a year and they’ll all stay put, because they have a new stadium to play in.

[franki68]

Well the best thing about the transfer apart from getting a top player is it’s set the abu’s Off on a mission to show which one of them is the biggest clueless tosspot around ,it’s quite a close competition .

What denial? Just like you and all the journos, we have no idea what his salary is and it's speculation from both sides. Common sense says that he's not going to be on 200k more a week than Pogba who is our highest paid player. That would cause issues.

‘Fans’ who obsess about wages and transfer fees are utterly tedious little twerps. The market is the market. If it somehow hurts your feelings, that’s your own emotional problem.

Because of people like you who go on about it being 500k when in actual fact you haven’t got a fking clue how much he’s earning. I don’t know a single United FAN who is going on about it and is bothered if we are paying him 500k pw. Certainly none on here are.

[ORD]

I couldn't care less what Sanchez is being paid, but I can tell you that it is almost certainly not £500k per week.

I have seen first-hand a number of PL players' contracts over the years, and they have never been remotely similar to what the press have reported. They literally make things up. Journos meet up and decide what numbers to invent and to stick to them for consistency.

Ive not read a single fighty comment on here. You really need to stop reading posts in a shouty way in your head.

You couldn’t script this

Followed almost immediately by this obsessive post, the best bit being the Ascayman now completely agrees that BCM is an utterly tedious twerp as below

We don’t care what we’re paying him. You lot do, we couldn’t care less, other than franki linking to an article to explain that the wage numbers have been made up, we aren’t arsed about it.
