Hard to adapt to expensive England? He must be having a laugh?
What does everyone think?

so he took about 20 -40k a week less to join arsenal and then he didnt know about the 60% tax rule so he is well short of what he used to earn so it will seem a little expencive for him in england.
I am not buying the fact that he didn't know about the tax rate. No one is stupid enough to join a different employer and not take into account how much taxes would be give. Yes, he moaned about it and that was a plain wrong thing to do.

If you remember at the time a few on here debated if the tax rule was real or not and they live in this country so there is no reason why he couldnt have known.
so if he is on 80k a week which is likley it lives him with 32k a week which i know is more than any of us can dream off but a move any where else in europe would probebly see him 2.4 million a year better off.
Not saying he is going to leave but if any of the big teams bid dont be suprised to see him ask to leave.
