£500,000 a WEEK!!

[ytrebil]

Insane, good for us though. That's a lot of tax.

[Sciroccology]

Isn't "kaka" the internationally recognised baby-talk for "st"?

To pay someone £500,000 per week to kick a football, no matter how brilliantly, perfectly illustrates just how insane our world actually is.

No doubt. He`ll probably end up paying more tax than the whole of Dewsbury.

You forgot the speech marks

Hope he gets this deal, serves people right who pay extortionate prices for wear replica shirts and to watch at the stadium or home.

Unlikely - I'm sure there will be a tax loophole somewhere...

Madness isn't it! Just seems like such a gross misallocation of money. £91M + £500,000 per week.

Well, technically, it's only the misallocation of money paid by people who enjoy watching 22 men ponce around a field every Saturday, so it doesn't really count.

I think he'd be mad to go to City this season, they're still in a relegation fight. They should concentrate on making the team a bit more solid before buying all the star players.

[Dave_ST220]

No wonder Ronnie O'Sullivan was pissed off at the £30k prize for the snooker!!

[Plotloss]

Illiterate, feral, millionaire, borderline rapists that chase inflated pig offal with a view to kicking it into what amounts to an outdoor cupboard.

[Cara Van Man]

How funny would it be to see the worlds most expensive footballer playing in the Championship next year? VERY.

[thegman]

I personally think that the football consumers deserve it. They are all mad enough to pay sky and get season tickets just to follow a team with no local players in it.

[Rawwr]

NHL probably have the right idea with team salary caps.
