Read a report today saying we have been paying him up to half his salary of £170k a week since he signed for Spuds, although the figure is apparantly more likely to be £40k a week. Still a lot of money. I know this goes on in football and is more common than you might think, (utterly baffles me), but it got me thinking.

Would we have been better served keeping him, like Danny Mills, and just leaving him to rot as it were, but making him carry out every contractual obligation, because at least then he can't come back to haunt us?

If true we are still paying him then why weren't clauses inserted to say he can't play against us while he receives renumeration from us, rather like loan agreements?

It was all a part of his signing fee for Spurs. We reduced the price to £5M to free them to pay him £4M as a signing fee. They currently pay his wages which were reduced as a result.

he's a cunt?

But one that can be close to world class on his day.Hopefully he won't have one of those games tonight.

Another world class player....isn't there already a problem with class sizes, no doubt we're going to need extra desks to fit everyone in.

I said close to world class so he just watches from outside.

I read we pay around £40k wages a week until his city contract would have wound up

In a sense we do, in actuality, we don't.

Definitely a cunt.

His latest honeymoon period must be nearly over by now, surely? Now he's proved to the departed AVB just how good he is (for a few games, while the mood takes him)

He was fuckin bobbins last night reverting to type.CUNT.

Maybe there's a clause in his contract (seeing as we're sort of topping up his wages) that says he has to play like a cunt against us

It certainly seemed emotions were running high tonight.Ever so slightly crazy I reckon.

Alongside his fee which was £12 million (including what they paid for him on loan) we don't pay a penny for his wages. Parasite he is, but he's no longer sponging off us.

He'll end up at stoke. He'll be a huge signing for them

Was an absolute prick in this game. I'm certain he shoved yaya hoping for a reaction before he left the pitch and a possible 2nd yellow.

Can't believe he didn't get done for the stamp of pushing yaya off the pitch.

The stamp is probably karma from when we all laughed at him doing it to some twat whose name escapes me.


The rest I'm allowed outrage over :)

How he didn't even get carded is beyond me

I guess it wasn't his day.
