Astroblack Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Just now, KaKa said: He came through as a kid, what did you expect him to be on? Understandable. He'll probably be on 100k+ if he signs a new contract. Just though it was weird because Smith Rowe is on 40k and Martinelli 90k but they probably signed long term contracts recently.

The College Dropout Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 19 hours ago, Away Toon said: If Jesus is really going to get paid 220k a week by Arsenal, it illustrates how much money we are going to have to be prepared to pay especially on wages to ever compete with the so called top 6. What is the top wage at the club? Maybe a 100k. Bring on the salary cap and quickly. We don't want this. The only way to catch-up is to overspend on quality talent. On Saka - he signed a contract when he first came through. He only has 2 years left on his deal. If he doesn't sign by this time next year - they will be forced to sell (if he has a good season).

Saka - I think it's best for the lad to not sign or ask to leave. If he has another good year next season, he'll probably be available for something like £50-60m. If he has a middling season. He'll still get £100k p/w+ at Arsenal in February 23. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I was thinking the Raph deal was odd considering that's Saka's position. But if they think he won't re-sign it's a great transfer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) I think Saka can be a great inverted winger / attacker. But he would be a dynamite left back for City under Pep. I can never shake what Yaya said about Pep and people of African origin so I don't think it will happen.

Dr Jinx Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Aside from Messi and to a lesser extent Ronaldo, has any player who’s been paid more than 250k a week improved on their game (or even maintained that standard) from when they were on less than 100k?

I think we’ve seen his best and it’s downhill from here so am not sure if he’s even maintaining levels from previous seasons. Thats not to say he isn’t a very very good player, he’s still excellent but my point is that wages at a point higher than 200-250k a week have for the most part played a negative part in the trajectory of both club and player. If you’re earning that sort of money, many many times more than a manager etc, you’ll never respect them fully. It’s fuck you money essentially. And then for a club, if you’re paying that sort of money it creates a culture of entitlement while being unmotivated due to the colossal amounts of money involved. Man Utd are a prime example of this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the big wage earners: https://squaremile.com/sport/five-highest-paid-football-players-2022/ Mbappe obviously stands out as delivering along with De Bruyne and Lewandowski. Messi and Ronaldo no issues given what they’ve done. Bale and Hazard a disaster. Also PSG and FFP - no mention of Ramos and Donnarumma who will be on stupid money too.

Plus, despite Bale’s fondness of golf, lack of selection for Real, and injury label, he’s actually done pretty well there and is probably worthy of his wage in relation to the other players.
