Silly Season January 2014

daily mail reported 50k

Do they though?

I know Anzhi,Zenit and CSKA have money but not sure about the rest of the league

I do know Spartak paid Celtic 9.5 million for him, now I would expect wages to match that high fee.

70k a week apparently:

We paid £15m for Fellaini and he was originally on a lot less than 70k.

McGeady denies his salary, reported at £75,000 a week when he moved from Celtic, has put off potential suitors. "When you are contracted at a club in Russia, they can ask for whatever they want to sell you. And they do," he explains. "I was linked with Zenit and Anzhi, I wouldn't have gone there but Spartak would demand £20m-30m for me anyway. I think that is more of a factor than what wages I have been earning."

called out as being greedy in several of the articles ive googled at random.

he's basically admitted hes on mega wages there.

i really dont want another johnny here.

even Anji don't; anymore, their owner got bored and was pissed off at not winning the league two years straight. Financial meltdown for them. Russia isn't made of money, just the duopoly do.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Lads they pay crazy mafia money in russia he wont be getting anything near that here

 

[Blue Bill]

If we can pay Barry £120k a week Im sure we can afford McGeady

 

[dixe]

If we can pay Barry £120k a week Im sure we can afford McGeady

We are not paying Barry 120k a week

 

[milkshock]

If we can pay Barry £120k a week Im sure we can afford McGeady

lmao.

 

[AndyZ]

If we can pay Barry £120k a week Im sure we can afford McGeady

I don't doubt we'll be able to afford his wages with Heitinga gone, but I still would prefer if McGeady did not take up a large portion of our wage bill.

 

[milkshock]

Seriously though lads I don't see him being on half his Russian wage of 75k a week with us - I think the minimum would be 50k and even that is extortionate for someone who is probably not going to be more than an 'impact' player
