Manchester City's new wage bill will go through the £100 million-a-year barrier this season.
The News of the World says Kolo Toure's arrival at Eastlands means salaries at City have DOUBLED in two years.
And it means owner Sheikh Mansour has a £½BILLION commitment in wages alone over the next four years.
Robinho (£160,000 a week), Emmanuel Adebayor (£150,000), Carlos Tevez (£150,000), Gareth Barry (£120,000) and Toure (£120,000) are the top earners.
And in addition to their astronomical salaries, the City players are currently negotiating a win bonus structure for the new season.
