Massive amount gone off the wage bill this summer


Are City fans genuinely concerned about a large wage bill? And if so, why?

Because it means we're able to sign other players that are more worthy of the money. I can't speak for Slash but I'd rather spend £90k p/w on Jesús Navas than on Roque Santa Cruz.

Something like 500k knocked off so about 175 added on, not bad

Man City have the money to do both though?

Obviously you'd want it spent shrewdly but that's never going to happen with the way City are ran.

You'd be surprised. Unlike PSG and Monaco, we're really taking FFP seriously - and if we weren't, the plan was never to continue spending £150m+ every summer, we were always going to reduce the spending.

Anyway, Soriano and Begiristain have been very keen on reducing the wage bill and restructuring how we pay our players, primarily focusing on moving from high basic wages (100k+) to more conservative basic wages (70-90k) plus bonuses. I think Yaya even took a pay cut in his last contract.

I was disappointed when Valeri Bojinov seemed to injure himself for 6 months just before games.

He looked so promising for City

He's alright. The £25.8m fee touted by the Indy seems way over the top though (unless it's including a whole host of add-ons).

By all accounts a terrific keeper, great bloke and an absolute legend.

His story about how he got in to English football in the first place is as great as that of him playing with a broken neck.

RIP

On that note his biography (by Catrine Clay) is well worth a read. Eventful would be putting it lightly.

“We could’ve signed other players but I consider him (Dzeko) the main striker of the team and I’m sure his performance along the season will be really good,” Pellegrini said.
“I very much trust him and I can say that every other player that have come are a support for a squad that needs to have more than one player in every position.”

Zabaleta signs a new four year contract. Great news for City.
