The wage could be correct, it could be incorrect. GC points out that most reputable sources went with the £75k though. But its the speed at which it's accepted that it must be because of the money only, by Alcaraz that bemuses me.
Because you havent any proof on the wages. But you choose to pick the figure that suits your argument. Why isn't there a tangible reason? you're not Luke Shaw, you can't possibly know what his reasons are. He might have gone because they are one of the biggest clubs in the world, that they have a manager who prides himself on creating intelligent players from top class young talent (with a proven record in it), that he gets to be part of the challenge of putting United back on top, He might have gone simply because it's Manchester United, he might just like Manchester. No one actually knows. Point is, he's gone. Why are none of these tangible reasons? Because you say so?Except their isn't any other tangible reason for him to choose United over Chelsea other than money. Not that's it's a bad thing mind ... I just don't get why United fans get so defensive when the tables are turned and it's actually them outspending teams to players
Just want to throw my 2 pence in here because i have seen a lot of negative comments about Drogba coming back and as much as everyone is enititled to their own opinion i see none which are valid! He isn't coming back to be 1st, 2nd or even 3rd choice if Torres stays! Bamford is nowhere near Premier League standard as of yet and need more time so won't effect him and Lukaku (if he even stays) will be infront of Drogba in the pecking order. We also have to factor in that we lost some big personalities in the dressing room this summer in Lampard, Cole and Luiz so he will help massively in that regard.
Welcome back king Didier in your new role making more history with this sensational football club!

That's because most of our comments were made on assumption that Torres would leave. Since he stays I see no problem with Drogba coming back.
Shaw hasn't proven anything so far, yet Hazard was player of the year in France twice in a row, even at his young age, also managed to win the title with Lille.Just reading what Mourinho has said about Shaw and how it would kill Chelsea if they had paid him those wages is a bit of a contradiction to what Chelsea paid to someone who was 21 when they signed him and was just 2 years older than Shaw and giving him £185,000 per week. Also Spending £32 Mill on the player as well. That player is Eden Hazard.
Chelsea have offloaded Cashley Cole and Lampard now which has freed up £245,000 per week and letting Luiz go saves another £75,000 per week as letting E'too go as well.
So Mourinho saying that Shaw would kill Chelsea is just another attempt from him just trying his stupid mind games as he knows United are making serious waves this year. To me he is starting to run scared already before the Premier league kicks off.

Just because Lampard and Cole left, and they had huge wages, doesn't mean you have to replace them with other players with similar wages. He had options for the LB position in Filipe: lower transfer fee, lower wages, and at the moment, Filipe is a better player than Shaw.
Bit far saying Mourinho is running scared from utd lol if there's one thing Jose never does it's run from a challenge
Have Chavski not spent over a billion pounds since Abramovich took over. Yeah Jose spending £100,000 a week is really going to cripple your club. Fool.
He's not running scared, just having a wind up, to which LVG didnt bite, and has said he will talk to Jose privately

Personality in the dressing room is always important, and respected legends of the club are definitely more than welcomed even if they are past their peak. I have nothing but praise for this signing, because I had always believed that a football club is more than just the 11 players on the field. Henrik Larsson joined us for 6 months and we benefited way more than the numbers or his performance on the field indicates.Just want to throw my 2 pence in here because i have seen a lot of negative comments about Drogba coming back and as much as everyone is enititled to their own opinion i see none which are valid!

And they are paying Luis 80k a week anyway
Thing is, his complaint was about paying a player that young that much money ( which is still actually up for debate). But the very young hazard 21 when (signed) was given 180k. Bear in mind his argument was less about the quality of the player, but about the age. Which makes zero sense when you look at Eden Hazard

No one is getting defensive. Stupid thing to say when both Tyton and Godcubed are making the points. Just pointing out the holes in your logic. Again where is this evidence of £130k wage. It's been reported in papers, but so has the £75k rising to £100k. My point is, why do you assume it has to be the former, apart from the fact it suits your argument.
You dismiss everything that doesnt fit your argument that he's gone because of the money, despite having zero concrete evidence to it.
