I was reading about Lukas Poldiski and it said that he is on 100k a week in wages. Does he make 5.2m a year? or is it just the full season in Serie A?

Poldiski?
 
Yes, the weekly wage is calculated on an annual basis, so Podolski would be making 5.2M per year.  The other big issue to be attentive to is whether they're talking pounds or euros.  And while most wages are reported pre-tax, sometimes you will see people talking about what a player is making post-tax in a specific country.
