Thats about £110k a week pre-tax innit.

I wasn't aware Italians were taxed so heavily, I thought they paid less than our higher earners?

Highest tax payers pay 43%.

Get this though, if you are on minimum wage over there, you pay 23% tax. If you are make about 25 grand a year, you pay 38% tax.

You'd think Mussolini was still in charge.

Harsh. At least pizza is cheap. That country is ****ed, entire industries just take whole months off work at once like absolute idiots. No wonder they can't pay their bills.

Hard people to do business with in my line of work, ignorant as **** they don't admit they have issues at all.

Do we take any notice of rummers

I dont even take notice of rumours. I posted one on the first page saying he wasnt coming.

But it is a good rumour. Better than normal.
 
Been a decent thread this one though, various opinions of what we need in a striker, what we'd like.

Rumour or otherwise, been some decent opinions on SAFC and such. Sometimes a good rumour gets ideas going, transfers have been slowed by the Euro's but I can't tell you how excited I am to see what we bring in.

I've a real good feeling about this upcoming season. Not Leicester good, but 'more than decent' good.

This 30 year old and players are on the decline is becoming silly. There's posters on here who genuinely believe it, though. They haven't moved with the times and don't realise that sport science has moved on leaps and bounds. Players are getting a good 3 to 4 years longer, than in times gone by.

That's true but resale value still drops off dramatically past 30 years old. I didn't say he was on the decline due to age, I said he was on the decline because last couple of seasons he's averaged 1 in 4, before that he was just shy of 1 in 2 for a few years, and before that he was, what I'd term, "prolific". The stats indicate he's fallen off the wagon recently.

Yes he could rediscover his past form, but is that a gamble we want to be taking? If he doesn't, he will literally be worthless as noone will want a 31-year-old who's been in ****e form for 3 years. We would, yet again, be stuck paying inflated wages to a bench warmer while he winds his contract down. And it's (potentially) £15m down the swanny. Another Rodwell. That's the risk.

I'd rather we use that money on another striker we've been linked with - Bas Dost. He's a unit so gives us another option, has a better scoring record over recent years than Dzeko in a stronger league, and is only 27 so has resale value. A much better prospect all-round imo.

This was a link I liked, although we must remember that Dost scores in gluts, and has never been consistent, as such.

Just what I read. When certain limit of earning is reached tax hits around 50% apparently. Looking into now it's actually 43%. So if his wages over there are 140,000 euros that puts him on 80k a week(Euros) So around, depending on the exchange rate, puts him on around 63k a week. So yeah, wages are doable, we'd probably have to give him around 85k to 90kpw pre tax @40%

It's a draw, lads.

Neither abbreviation is correct or incorrect. You may hear arguments for one being superior to the other, and there are logical cases for both sides. One could arguemaths is better because mathematics ends in s, and one could argue math is better because mathematics is just a mass noun that happens to end in s.
 
As far as I'm concerned maths is English and math is American. Either way maths is definitely fine.
