Optimistic Nut Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Oba wants wages close to Owens??? Get rid pronto. The cheeky git. I love you Oba but be on your way son! he's done more tfor this club than little mickey FFS. more than entitled tbh That's the equivalent of saying John Barnes would have deserved the same pay as Shearer after the 1997/8 season.

Not saying any footballer should be given £105,000 a week or whatever it is, but what the hell has Michael Owen done for us to justify being on £30/40,000 a week more than Oba? Nothing, but that's what mis-management does to you. Martins has got no chance of getting near £100,000 a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank God for those seven goals he got us at the start of the 05/06 season! How can anyone possibly argue that Owen has done just as much/more than Martins in his time here? Like i say, no footballer can justify being on such immense wages, but in comparison - Owen's done nothing, for us, to be the highest paid member of our squad - and by such a margin. As Vic said, Martins is entitled to a winge. Not that it'll make any difference. I can imagine he could winge all he wants but the guys at the top wouldn't do anything.

Dave Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Players get paid what they are offered by clubs wanting to employ them. Not sure why it's always a reason to hate a player tbh. NotW said on Sunday that Lampard had rejected £130k a week. Greed? Not really, if Barca are offering £131k. You get paid what you get paid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he's done more than Martins, not at all mate. Plus the fact Owen is a better footballer than Martins could be a deciding factor as to why he is being paid big brass. If he delivers the goods next season - which I'm sure he will - it will not be long before the big clubs come sniffing and activate the clause.

Don't think anyone here is, tbh. IE - hating Owen cos he's on such massive wages. I'm just saying that he's done nothing more than Martins on the pitch, that justifies him being on £40,000-a-week extra, so Oba's entitled to a moan.
