Behave yourself Lazie!

Tell Gary Lineker to behave HL. Check his Twitter post after MU signed up for Twitter earlier today.

See #MUFC have finally signed up to twitter. Could be their biggest signing of the summer.

No .... even I had to burst out with laughter after seeing that.

.. so now Bayern is showing interest in Thiago. Who would you want as a manager Moyes or Pep? MU draw out this thing way too long.

...............plus English Taxes...

Oh, wasn't aware that was a factor. Taxes in England are higher than that in other football destinations?

Much higher...taxes are a big part of the problem killing the Prem from the article linked below...

Take an English contract signed two years ago worth a fairly typical £3 million a year. At the exchange rate on offer at the time, the player's post-tax salary of £1.8 million would have been worth €2.7 million. Fast-forward to next April, though, and that post-tax salary becomes £1.5 million — in European money, it falls 36%, to €1.74 million. To the clubs, matching or trumping pay levels on the Continent might suddenly seem expensive. For a Premier League team to pay a player an equivalent net annual salary of €3 million next April, the cost would be €6.8 million, according to Deloitte. That's 70% more than the €4 million it would cost a Spanish team to pay a foreign player the same. Doing so in Italy, Germany and France, meanwhile, would be much cheaper too.

Thanks. I was aware of Bolt not running there due some tax issue, but I didn't realize the rate was that high, compared to other countries. That explains why some player ended up elsewhere when the thought was that the deal is close.
