[OCD]

It's 17,000 Euro's a week isn't it? So about £14k a week.

[Karl Bridges]

Even better then.

I would manage to struggle along on that

[Salsa Party Animal]

17 grand and we can increase it to say 22 grand plus extra rather than 60 grand a aweek.

[silhillvilla]

14k a week wow, after tax and NI he'll net about 8k a week
Bloody hell, times are a changing

They had to change.

I have instantly been put off this player by his quote of "I can't wait to play against the likes of Man City, Man Utd, Arsenal & Chelsea".

He's already in awe of the opposition before we even kick a ball.

Any agent with a brain will be reminding Villa that TV money goes up by 70% next year. He'll get at least £30k a week I reckon.

Or maybe he's is just relishing the challenge of playing in a better league against better teams.

Indeed, I just think it shows he's up for a challenge and that's a good thing.

Its not about who you are playing against its about who you are playing for.

If you keep believing that the players care about the club in any way, then you're just setting yourself up to be let down.

And why should they? I don't give a shit who I work for, as long as I'm paid.

I'd just much rather him be going out to put Kolo Toure in to row Z rather than him waiting to swap shirts with him after the game. If you go out on the pitch thinking you are inferior to the opposition (and yes i know we are but that isn't the point) then your always going to lose. We are all in the same division and they are there to be beaten not admired.

Respected, perhaps?

You're reading far too much into it.
