Nice - not on massive wages either
Mirth Nice - not on massive wages either
I think you must be misreading that. Generally "net" means post-tax. Assuming a 50% tax rate, that's £130000 per week for a guy who played in Switzerland at the start of last season. He looks talented and I think it's more likely that he works out than he doesn't work out. However, if he doesn't work out, then we're going to find it really really difficult to get rid of him on those wages. He doesn't have an amazing track record or pedigree so if he doesn't work out then it'll be easy to dismiss him as a case of Bologna catching lightning in a bottle.
Mirth not for a first team Arsenal player. Seems a decent deal.
Did not know he spoke English this well?
DiabyKungFu it'll be closer to about 44%, but your point is still valid. I just looked up the UK tax rates - 40% from 50k to 125k p.a then 45% for anything over 125k sterling. That's some fairly high tax considering the Tories have ripped the guts out of services.
Yeah I missed the net at the end. That's a fair chunk of change.
Big wage indeed but we've had a good track record recently with big money signings so I have faith the team have done their diligence and found another gun.
£130k per week is a high estimate but still not that big a wage for a starter. According to the list below that would make Calafiori roughly the twentieth highest earning defender in the league.

Looks like Saliba, White and Zinchenko are all on substantially more.
Calafiori's gotta earn his spot to justify the package, that's all really.

Gazza M I like this.. i can see that catching on quickly.
Gazza M what tune is this?
That’s it Gazza!
The Calafiori song to the tune of "That's Amore" by Dean Martin is the one for me.
🎶When he, plays at the back, he will stop your attack, Calafiori,
he chose Red over blue, plays for Mik and Edu, Calafiori.🎶
That’s swell too
Got one for Mikel Merino lined up too
supa, supa Mik

Asterix "California Love" the old Tupac / Dre west coast hiphop anthem from the 90s
