Keown: "Sanchez has got to be the biggest mercenary in football"
Says a guy that fcuked off to everton when he wasnt happy with the money Arsenal were paying Ugly hypocritical b**tard
Not quite true.... GG didn't rate him and sold him to Villa.
I think the truth lies somewhere inbetween. It was Keown's call to leave: he wasn't convinced that the new manager Graham rated him enough, but he was already in dispute over money. He needs to be careful calling players who have earned the right to expect to be rewarded greedy. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/martin-keowns- ... it-1434516

I think the truth lies somewhere inbetween. It was Keown's call to leave: by the time Graham arrived he was already in dispute over an improved contract and George said he wanted to keep him but wouldn't pay him more at that stage in his career.

Keown: "Sanchez has got to be the biggest mercenary in football"
Sanchez' advisors have negotiated!
Per year before a presumed 45 percent tax: £25.5m
Per month before tax: £2.1m
Per week before tax: £490,000
Per day before tax: £70,000
Per hour before tax: £2,900
Give or take a few grand Mr Keown, he is getting paid what the market price for a world class striker is worth...
Now be a good boy and fuck right off!....

Salaries for all contracts are quoted prior to tax deduction. Using his post tax salary doesn't mean anything.
Sanchez is going to be the best-paid player in the prem by a long way. City offered him £290k pre tax.
You can have a pop at Wenger for allowing this situation to arise time and time again, but the reality here is Keown is right. He had a lock in for a PL medal this season and he turned it down. He even had a gentleman's agreement with City that he would join them on a free at the end of the season. Why do you think they pulled out. Perhaps the way he carries himself sucks?
