I cant believe what i have just read check it out http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/sport/865170/TOURE-IS-PREMIER-LEAGUES-HIGHEST-PAID-PLAYER.html

this is an absolutely mad amount of money! i know were use to seeing high wages but this is an absolute joke yaya toure should be earning around 60-75k a week but 220k a week! how can this be justified hes not even the best player in his position players wages need to be capped world wide i believe no one should be on 100k a year yet alone 100k a week! an ideal wage to earn at this current time would be 24-30k a year. i honestly cant believe how much he is getting paid i can honestly sy i dont rate him what a joke!

If the player doesnt get the money, the club gets the money. Yes it is FAR too much, but in the end i would rather the money went to a person, than a rival club. Who knows, maybe the tax on his wages will help us out of this recession quicker! I do worry that the gulf between wages of clubs in different countries and leagues will soon force every team to look for a billioniare owner to fund a new team of superstars.

i think FIFA need to enforce a CAP on wages as its almost 250k a week thats 13 million a year!

Agree with ya Rory - he's absolutely average n Shitty are bleeding the game dry. FIFA should cap it but of course won't..Blatter's a dodgy old geezer anyway.

how about they lowered admission charges cos lets face it kids thes days dont follow football as passionatly as in the past
