Not bad for Liverpool given they are in a purple patch. Just WTF are Arsenal doing though.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

It's obscene.

 

[Teddyjohn]

Juve’s wage bill has increased dramatically over the past 2-3 years. From the sounds of things, their transfer strategy under Pirlo is going to be totally different i.e. targeting the top young Italian talent rather than superstars.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Aaron Ramsey is on over £250k a week at Juve according to Talksport yesterday as they were mentioning that Pirlo doesn’t fancy him.

 

[Monty_greenock34]

Messi on over a million a week.

Thats outrageous man.

 

[Clay Davis]

Not bad for Liverpool given they are in a purple patch. Just WTF are Arsenal doing though.

Yeah definitely the odd one out on that list

 

[dynamo_rosco]

Must be the first time in a while that Chelsea haven’t been on that list.

 

[Super A]

Think I read the Athletico manger is the highest paid in the world

 

[LondonBear21]

Depressingly puts our immeadiate ambitions in context. We need the champions league money to even start attracting & affording reserve players from some of those clubs.

 

[bigfellathanks]

Juve will be so high because of the amount of free transfers they've got that will hike the wages up.

 

[a_weir]

Disgusting. Modern day football is fucked. There's no way back from this.

 

[jaws73]

Hoardes of bench warmers on enormous wages that in more sane times would have been spread around other teams creating far better domestic competitions.

Certainly not healthy for the game in general.

to be fair. 95% of that goes to Ozil

 

[WinkieWATP]

£35m a year supposedly

 

[govanrear1987]

Aaron Ramsey is on over £250k a week at Juve according to Talksport yesterday as they were mentioning that Pirlo doesn’t fancy him.

I thought it was close to £400k

 

[sw26]

Everyone goes on about Juve being smart in the transfer market with their picking up of free agents like Ramsey/Rabiot/Khedira but the flip side is that they have to pay through the nose on wages for those players.

Dare say having Ronaldo on their books inflates the figure significantly also.

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Messi being on 1m a week isn't outrageous at all tbh. Not for what Barca get back in lieu of shirts merch etc. Not to mention on field achievements. Question is what do Barca make off him.

Footballers always in this country are target of obscene money shouts. In line with a top level boxer..basketball American footballer etc it's not THAT obscene

 

[Clay Davis]

Best part of 700k pw!

Probably worth every penny to be fair.

Every big job that comes up I wonder why is he not getting mentioned, that will be why

 

[DarthVader]

It’s quite simply disgusting.

To put it into context, 45k season ticket at circa £600 a go is £27m.

That pays for THREE Barcelona players.

If it’s true that Messi earns £1m per week, that’s 85,000 season tickets.

I know that ST cash is only a fraction of the income nowadays for the big leagues, but these earnings make me sick.

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

Arsenal clearly ain't getting value for money.

Mugs.

HAlf of that will be ozil

Wow, crazy if true.

Yes, totally crazy.

It would be interesting to know what sort of money Messi generates for Barcelona in terms of commercial revenue?

Who is he and has he won anything?

 

[WinkieWATP]

Who is he and has he won anything?

Diego Simeone.
