Think a lot of these new contracts are lower basic wages with higher bonuses to help us get round FFP. Kompany's is in real terms only a one year extension on his previous deal but good for the captain to be seen as really happy to stay at the club.

No doubt Wenger will be in the press tomorrow having a whinge about circumvention of rules that dont exist with loopholes blah blah blah
Well done City and I like very much that our Captain is staying for a long time. Just Sergio now and out Spine is complete :)

Love what he says about English youngsters too and how they need to be more open-minded about their careers and to taking loans abroad. So true.
twosips wrote:To be honest, and i've touched on it before in other threads, i see the reason kids don't move abroad as something that's linked to a bigger cultural problem. English arrogance mainly. We speak the world's most popular language, we're highly influential in all areas of culture and have huge sporting relevance, including the biggest football league in the world. We're not quite on the same level as the yanks, but we definitely have a huge sense of entitlement as a country.
The vast majority are lazy and don't want to learn other cultures whereas its the norm for kids in non-english speaking countries to look elsewhere for opportunities and head over here etc.. i don't think it'll ever change in football to be honest. Not drastically anyway.. We've always just presumed everything will come to us, as opposed to have to go looking for it and as a result there's very little motivation. It's all not helped either by the fact that most, even kids in the reserves, still probably clear more in a year than my parents do combined despite being about 17. It's an easy and comfy lifestyle.
