thabucks Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I guess footballers are like us all and he will have received his P45 form today along with his P46 to hand to his new employer. Would love to see his tax calculations...wouldn't it be taxed at 50% ? On a side note when HQ brings up how obscene footballers wages are ( which they are) i counter that a weekly tax bill on £150k pays for a nurses wages for a year for instance, her eyes then roll and I pipe down.

villa4europe Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 im seriously not fussed if he plays less than 10 games for us, this squad is IMO and should be good enough to do something in this league, if behind the scenes hes the catalyst that makes it happen then so be it if hes coming for the purpose that i believe the club are after then he should mean a lot more to us than on the field performances 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they are well entrenched in the world of supply and demand and exploit it naturally. ALL footballers are not well paid, just like not ALL actors & actresses are....it supposed to be just the best ( and that can be debated) but Hey! i know what you mean and you have a valid point.

I'm not one for using this language, but in the context of what's being discussed, it's probably inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that was the wrong phrase. People certainly took issue with me calling him a piece of shit because of this incident and a few others. My thoughts at the time are the same now, that's all I meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't play much at Chelsea as they had top current internationals in the team and were flying not because he was unfit - he's had plenty of offers this summer and I for one am delighted he's chosen us. though they all had great seasons he was replaced by a right back and Sideshow Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DCJonah Posted July 1, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2017 Looking like a one year deal with an option to extend. While I don't like the guy, if that's the deal it's worth the gamble. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you could suggest to her that unlike many other people raking in fortunes footballers wages come directly, for the most part, from people who are quite happy to pay them. I subscribe to Sky and own a season ticket through choice because these people improve the quality of my life. If that makes them rich, good for them. UNLIKE lobbyists, MPs becoming Company Directors, currency speculators etc etc. It always surprises me what an easy target footballers are. Mind you, I tried this approach with my missus once and never bothered again lol................. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I would be happy (if he signs) for him to make around 30 league appearances for us. The league is our priority so as far as the cups are concerned I would not play him and would just ask him to slip a shirt on when it came to picking up those trophies for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree mate, people are moaning that he is not going to play as many games as we would like. I would be happy with 25 starts. And what about when we are a goal up and need to defend the lead, is there a player that you could think of that would be better to bring off the bench for the last 20 to defend a lead? Possibly 5-8 sub appearances would be a great return imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
