LondonLax Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Tax rules are different in spain though, alot less than here, so kaka can be on far less than at city but in reality not that far off I always thought that kaka looked at it and more or less said im not exactly poor so why be greedy? Wish more of them would Yes, Spain have a special tax bracket for top earners where they only have to pay something like 20% tax rather than the 50% here. It was designed to attract top CEOs to the country to improve business but mostly it has just attracted top footballers to Madrid and Barcalona. The current spanish government is debating repealing the tax break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Dogg Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 James Milner returned to training at Aston Villa on Tuesday and hopes his proposed move to Manchester City will be finally approved by this weekend. City and Villa are still haggling over a fee for the England midfielder, 24, who has 11 caps. But the two clubs are believed to be close to a compromise after City’s initial bid in May of £20million plus add-ons was rejected. Milner has told team-mates a deal is likely to be struck soon as Villa need to generate cash to fund their own moves in the market. Villa boss Martin O’Neill, who has to sell-to-buy, has transfers for Spurs’ Robbie Keane and Celtic’s Aiden McGeady already lined-up. Now Milner is waiting on the green light to be given permission to speak to City officials. And a deal for Milner could include out-of-favour City midfielder Stephen Ireland going in the opposite direction as they are unwilling to pay £30m cash. Milner trained yesterday after seeing a chiropractor on Monday night when Villa return from Portugal. Milner did not play for Villa against Feyenoord and Benfica in the the Guadiana Cup at the weekend. Defender Curtis Davies, 25, will also be fit for the start of the season after a scan on a knee injury - sustained against Benfica - reported no damage. Davies has been offered to Spurs as a make-weight in Villa’s discussions about Keane. But Steve Sidwell’s hopes of a £2m move to Fulham appear over as new manager Mark Hughes is unwilling to sanction the purchase arranged by predecessor Roy Hodgson.

ctid Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Probably is time to move on now. Milner doesn't apear to be the kind of guy to kick up a fuss if he stays. I'm sure he will enjoy his football at Villa next season as much as he did last although there is no guarantee he will be as good this year. Not worth anywhere near the money you lot reckon. Sure he had a very solid season last year but he's no better than Ireland who had the same sort of season the year before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
