Boss of the Stoke City club, Tony Pulis, has commented in the past that some of the Premier Leagues clubs spend a ridiculous amount of money on wages, although he added that good luck to players that manage to get the wages if the clubs are willing to pay it out.
Pulis went on to say that the football industry is now all about glamour and if many of the rumoured wages are true then it is just absurd.
So far, Pulis has only signed one person to the team, Florent Cuvelier a teenager from Portsmouth that finished 11th in the League during 2009.
On the other side of the spectrum, Manchester City has spent the most this summer dishing out £20m to obtain high profile players such as Yaya Toure and David Silva.
It is claimed that Toure earned about £200,000 every week at Eastlands.
Pulis also said that he is tired of Stoke being marked as targets for transfer and has decided to halt signing any new players to the team. He said that as of yet they have been linked with 138 different players and for now will just sit back as they have actually not been linked with any players that have made their shortlist.
The Stoke boss also stated that the best deals usually happen during the transfer window and so they are happy to sit back and wait for the deals they want to become available.
