Difference is that Ade is on 80 grand with us, and cost 5M...City paid the rest up until this season.
Soldado transfer fee alone around five times as much, and Id imagine he's on the same wages.
Why make up an argument about Adebayors cost being the reason Poch is playing him, when he is costing us less than a lot of other players bought recently?
I mean, seriously...why? Why make shit up?
The fact is his wages won't go up. There is no time limit etc on when his wages inflate. That was a newspaper headline that had zero quotes or substance.
Ade is probably bringing in our top tier wages but under our wage limit, but the rest would have been a lump sum or structured from city to please the fa fair play financial rules and the taxman on ades part.
The "his wages are about to go up to 170k a week" shrieking is total bollocks.
If you were cynical, his fee was probably sloshed into his payoff. Moving money around so City don't get penalized. We kinda did the same with swansea and transfer fees.
