Coleman v Sagna

[mrb85]

Sagna going to City for £140k a week..................it really is farcical when the ability to pay of one or two clubs is just so far ahead of the rest. How can we ever have a chance of holding on to Coleman and others when this is the reality? If City had gone for Coleman how could you ever deny the lad the move? I know Sagna has played the 'run down your contract' game to get such an inflated wage but even so a wage anywhere near that would inevitably lead to any full back saying yes please.

And then we get PSG reportedly about to pay £50m for David Louise, someone who wouldn't even get a regular game at Everton. Could we really deny Stones his inevitable move in a few years time when he'd probably be getting his wages quadrupled and the club would be getting £30m+ for him?

FFP is a joke.

I agree.

Footballs ruined when clubs can pay thousands of pounds a week to 1 player yet there are clubs in the lower leagues going out of business.

they need to start banning clubs from europe, its the only sanction that will hit home

 

[Walken]

In fairness to Sagna, it was arsenals decision to only offer him a one year deal last season

UEFA don't have the balls for that. They want the prestige players in the Champions League, and they are increasingly gravitating towards the megarich clubs.

Football is wrecked.

I agree fully...they have enough money to laugh off any fine. I find it weird that while clubs with serious financial difficulties (outstanding debt problems etc) aren't allowed to play YET clubs damaging football in general due to their cash splashing disregarding all rules are only fined. If nothing is done in the future football in general will be the long term sufferer...

What about Zabeletta? Second best right back in the league.

 

[Toffeelover]

Clubs with do not care obscenely rich owners will always win out. One cannot blame a player for thinking about his pay packet. The career is short unless you are a Liverpool player then all the media companies are queeing for them as commentators.

 

[Eggs]

...I think Sagna is a terrific player. The fact that he's out of contract means he will demand a tasty signing-on fee and salary. Surprised that City is the destination because Zabelleta is also outstanding. If he was going anywhere in this Country I imagined it would be United. I'm surprised they didn't make a real bid for him, he's quality.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

140k a week to be their second choice right back? Not bad.

 

[toffeejack]

city are going to have two of the three best RB's in the league ha

 

[Tubey]

Is that real? £140k a week? For someone who is about 1/9th as good as Zabaleta?

Man City.. err... their Sheikh has money to burn. They see a player they want, they buy. Like a kid in a candy shop. It's a joke really.
