BagOfCrisps 24 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Owen missed a fair few chances by all reports. The headline was that Berbatov was spotted actually running for a bit, Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I don't believe it - the bit about Berbatov. Running is not cool enough, obviously. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I see Newcastle got a draw in their first game Top earners 10. Fernando Torres (25), Liverpool; £110,000 per-week: Rewarded for outstanding form with new contract in May 2009 which will keep him at Anfield until 2013 - still had four seasons left on a £70,000-a-week deal No 9. Michael Ballack (32), Chelsea; £120,000: Extended contract for one-year until June 2010. Joined club from Bayern Munich in 2006, but career has been overshadowed by injury, despite scoring regular goals No 8. Gareth Barry (28), Manchester City; £120,000: Aston Villa accepted £12 million for club captain in June 2009 after 12 years at Villa Park. Barry doubled his salary, saying that City's "ambition" won him over No 7. Kolo Touré (28), Manchester City; £120,000: £15m bid accepted by Arsenal in July 2009 for Ivorian defender. Doubled his earnings in the process, ending a nine-month pursuit by manager Mark Hughes No 6. Steven Gerrard (29), Liverpool; £140,000: Signed four-year deal in July 2009, saying he planned to retire at the end of it, when he will be 33. At the centre of long-running transfer saga in 2005 with Chelsea No 5. Emmanuel Adebayor (25), Manchester City; £140,000: Striker signed five-year deal at Eastlands after £25m move from Arsenal in July 2009. "I was born to play football and that is what I want to do," he said No 4. Carlos Tevez (25), Manchester City; £140,000: Completed move across Manchester from Old Trafford in July 2009 in five-year contract, becoming first player since Terry Cooke in 1999 to move between rivals No 3. Frank Lampard (31), Chelsea; £150,000: Midfielder signed five-year deal in 2008 to at club after being tempted by AC Milan. Joined from West Ham United in 2001 and racked up 400th appearance in 2009 No 2. John Terry (28), Chelsea; £151,000: Chelsea captain sparked frenzied summer of bidding from Manchester City in summer 2009, reportedly offering Terry £250,000 a week. Committed in July 2009 No 1. Robinho (25), Manchester City; £160,000: Brazilian moved from Real Madrid in 2008 for £32.5m on final day of summer transfer window. Finished top-scorer for City in 2008/09 season with 14 goals Lets compare with a "who's best" list. those City ones are just frankly ridiculous. They must be even more dazzled with not understading their luck than most PL players. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Tevez the 4th highest paid player? Nuts. How did he get there, thats the interesting story. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 Hard to predict todays game, but it will be interesting to watch and see how Chelsea and United line up. Feels strange watching games at 3pm, not 11pm or 12pm. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Neither looked too impressive. United's keeper is well shakey. Ballack really is a git, hate him. Good game for the opponents to watch and be encouraged with though. Link to post Share on other sites
