I like it when people throw around numbers for wages and transfer fees. Most numbers are definitely pulled out of their arses. It is at its absolute worst when people just state fees and wages like absolutely nothing. To me £25,000,000 (or whatever exorbitant fee is being discussed) is a fucking lot, way too much for a guy that hasn't done anything for two whole years. The fact that he was really good pre-2013 shouldn't justify his fee nor his wages. The idea that "form is temporary, class is permanent" is such a load of horseshit the amount of people that believe it actually boggles my mind. Of course there is a chance he could return to his abilities pre-2013 but the club shouldn't be paying a lot for a player that was good in the far past. He has scored 21 goals in the last two years for Monaco, Manchester United and Colombia. If he were on £200,000 p/w he would earn £10,400,000 in exactly one year. Is ten million pounds what this guy should be earning?
