I didn't know Wengker paid that much for a Arsee shaving, how come he doesn't pay that much for his Brazilian?

[blue moon]

u can see why world football is dominated by a handful of clubs.

Yeah the only ones outside the select few are Michael Owen Aguero and Robinho.

Hate to admit it but it makes Wengker look even better that he can compete with that lot. Although didn't Arsenal get done a fair few years ago by the inland revenue for making overseas payments to thier players? maybe they are still doing it.

[Bomber]

Where does Hawkesy's 3 Heinneken's per game rank?

[delfino_1936]

fuck look at kanoute lol

[Translator]

Vieira wage can't be right, maybe when he first signed his two year deal but can't see his renewal last year being that much.

[Facts and Stats]

These tables come out every year and every year they are proved to be completely wrong. They are 'educated' guesses, as clubs don't show wages by individual players.

[Dr. Wankenstein]

shiraz look at kanoute lol

That one shocked me! He was shite at Spurs but he has been pretty good at Sevilla. Would never have guessed he earnt so much though.

[The Joker]

lol @ Ibrahimovic being top of the list. He is so overrated.

[totsreds08]

lol @ Ibrahimovic being top of the list. He is so overrated.

you can't judge him over two legs

[Twitchyarry]

Lots of players living on past glories with huge wages, Sheva, Owen and Ballack to name a few.

Exactly my point. He turns up for games against Genoa* and Bologna, but he does'nt turn up in the big games. And people say that Cristiano Ronaldo does'nt turn up in the big games, is that him on the scoresheet today?

Ronaldo turned up on the scoresheet thanks to Rooney - other than that he did nothing...
I'm not gonna argue about Ibra - he does need to lift in the biggest ties and I've said that for awhile now. It will prevent him from winning individual awards - look at Messi!

This morning he should've scored and reading his post-match comments, he knows that. He is irreplaceable at the moment at Inter - no other striker is settled with him. Adri's been better but still not where he should be, same with Balotelli...Cruz and Crespo are heading downard now being in the twilight of their careers and Obinna's unproven - we need Ibra. At the moment he's winning Serie A for us which is now of stupidly high importance if we want to avoid being the laughing stock of European and World Football.

turning up against genoa is good this season, they are playing well. look at the serie a ladder. by the way, it is much harder for a striker to get into the game compared to a midfielder

No, he was on the score sheet on wednesday

[messidona]

shevchenko??? really?!! he's done shiraz all since his first stint at milan.

[David Puddy]

Ibra should start putting in some real performances before being atop of that list, no way he is a better player than Messi, Ronaldo, Kaka, etc.

[The Joker]

lol @ spurs

[Kitchimo]

It's FAKE people.
