Kagawa!!

What do you mean cap, 27 k per week in Germany, they don't have 50% do they? Or are you saying at united

Captain

If you are unmarried, it's either 45 or 50%, I can't remember exactly so I just rounded everything. Basically, he won't be on much more than 30k per week if the 700k per year nett is accurate.

Ray

That's still quite a lot someone like van Persie on 80000 a week, after tax will end up with roughly 40000 a week without benefits

Captain

15k per week nett.

Ignore my explanation, it's not very clear.

Ray

Yep, around 15k per week net sounds about right, I thought you meant gross

Bottom line - we could have offered him better, can't say I understand why we didn't go head to head with United on this.

Wenger is waiting for everyone to make their moves.

I've seen you say this a few times now and its not true. The 50% top rate of tax only kicks in once you pass the threshold for it. I'm not sure where the tax bands come in in England but when I was on the top rate of tax here I was only really paying about 20% of it tax. I'd be very surprised if players who are on £200k a week are coming out will a whole lot less than £150k. These guys are going to have top class accountants too.

Ray

qs, In the UK the first 35000 is 20% the next 150000 is 40% and above that is at 50%, you can claim allowance but because their earnings are so high it won't be there and they may have benefits in kind that are taxable. And you have to work out NICs

So you probably were earning after allowances within the 35000 band hence your 20% tax. Only gift aid donations could increase the bands, btw I'm a chartered acccountant.

Although there are tax avoidance schemes, and the latest budget wants to move the 50% rate to 45%

that cunning fox, waiting for all the best players to get signed first. all the other teams fall for it everytime!

Captain

Come on guys. You hear about maybe 10% of anything arsenal do in the transfer market, 40% tops at any other club.

Anybody interested, Japan is playing Oman now. Honda Kagawa Uchida Nagatomo running the show, but Al Habsi has made some fantastic saves. Miyaichi on the bench. Some fantastic football by the Japanese now.

I'd love us to sign al habsi

Mello

Japan are great to watch, Honda looks great too.

He'd make a superb backup, but is probably at the stage of his career where he wants to play every week.

banduan

Honda's always been good to watch

lorddulaarsenal

United have signed him
