Fair enough, sounds like Hazard said go find me the most money with a CL team then.
170k after tax? are most footballers wages quoted as after tax? How much is it without?

My word, a team struggling for results and playing nigh on 80 minutes coming back from a goal down are getting slated for celebrating?
GTFO
Some ****ing idiots in here
Indeed, although that Rooney celebration is perfect to rub in the noses of those bleating on about what did Liverpool/Arsenal win this weekend due to people being happy with a win.
Rooney's celebration is pretty mild compared to most of mine.
EDIT: Actually Moyes' celebration was pretty desperate, don't mind Rooney, he put the work in.

It's bottom of the table Fulham at home who are playing last year's champions sorry but this is cringe worthy. If it was like the last 2-3 minutes i could understand but there was like 10 mins+ still to go.
God knows but it's going to be a fair amount, fair play to City in that instance, they didn't want to play his games so pulled out.
I actually agree
Moyes' celebration was more relief though than being a **** though.My celebration when it went in was more like one of your posts when a decision goes against Liverpool.

To be fair Rooney expects United to close that out, if I was him I'd assume that was a win under Ferguson anyways. Moyes on the other hand was a bit like look at me, I've done it
They had been playing against a team that had parked the bus for most of the match and were finding them difficult to break down, should they just walk off and shake hands?
It's any excuse to knock United on here at the moment, when it gets to moaning about how they celebrate goals it's going too far and shows you up for what you are

You repeatedly punched your keyboard shortcuts for swear words whilst screaming the other team slipped brown envelopes to the ref? odd.

You think it's highly unlikely that new players will sign for the amount they are on? Fellaini is back up quality at best and is on what Evra is on(more or less), Mata is a good player and is on more. To look at actual evidence of players signed already and then suggest most players will sign for less than Evra-Rio is frankly, nuts.
Mata on 140k a week, Fellaini... I mean Fellaini is apparently on around 90k and he's no where near good enough. Then lets point out that I didn't say every player who signs will make what Vidic/Rio do, I will happily say that many players you sign in the next 2-3 years will make significantly more. For instance, Mata is making more, RVP is making more. Those are the quality of players Utd actually need to improve.
As for youngsters needing to prove how much they are worth.... lol. Hazard, the reason you didn't get Hazard, was money. Chelsea offered more. If you try and sign the next Hazard, and you offer 50-100k because Utd think that player has to prove himself before getting a big wage.... but 4 other clubs offer the big wage upfront, what does history tell you?
If Utd consistently offer less cash than other clubs, they'll simply sign no quality players.
Top notch players today are signing for 200k a week, hot prospects like Hazard are signing for 160-180k a week, players like Fellaini are making 90k a week. Yet vidic/rio are apparently around the 110k mark, Evra around the 95k mark.... Welbeck, utterly useless, signed for 85k, he's, incredibly generously, a squad player, on very very close to what Evra is on. Times change.
I would say the majority of first team players Utd need to be signing will be signing for more than Vidic/Rio are on, not the minority. Only the proper youngsters(<18) or experienced/squad players, IE not first teamers, will be signing for less.
As for wages being 60% of wages, yes, I'm not sure what you're point is, you made a minor loss in the quarter ending September. Wages are the biggest, but not only cost for clubs. Despite wages only being 60% of the clubs revenue, you made a loss.
With the new commercial deals, I'd expect Utd to effectively be right where they are now financially in 2-3 years. Another 100mil coming in, increased wages across the board.
Every new player you sign knows about the incoming commercial deals, they know how much money Utd will be bringing in two years from now, and they'll negotiate for a piece of the pie.
Vidic and those guys are the better value players you have in the squad(or where when available and at their best). The guys you are losing all signed when 100k a week was still huge for most players, now it's borderline average for a half decent player in terms of top 4 clubs.

Have you seen the YouTube clip of the Irish girl after Juve knocked Celtic out of the cl last season? That's how imagine you Purdy.

170k before tax, that says he wanted around 4.5mil a year after tax, which is around 90k a week. Lots of people talk about after tax because, well, every country is different. If the agent tells all the clubs he's looking for around 80-90k after tax, then the country can work out how they do that. Some countries have dodgy tax situations, payments via other companies in other countries. I believe the EPL lets 10% of wages be tax free, or paid from abroad under the belief that image rights generate money outside the UK so there should be some allowance for that.
Essentially 90k after tax is the target anyone in Europe who wanted Hazard had to meet, here that seems to be around 170k, in Monaco it would be give or take, 90k, in Spain, maybe 150k, maybe 200k.
Ultimately all the agent and player care about is the amount they get after tax so that is the target they hand out.
I imagine him with little ***s as well
"Celtic girl cries over loss", check it out.
My bad, didn't read the 4.6mil net of tax, thought I read 9
I use her as inspiration
