King_gazza 1,065 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Not even messi deserves £340k a week.Sooner they bring in this wage/transfer cap the better.Football is being ruined Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme_RFC 10 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Even 50k is pushing it. Tbh, if you can't live on say 15k a week there's something wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, if you can't live on say 15k a week there's something wrong.It's not really a question about living on 15k a week or 50k a week. Remember that football careers are pretty damn short in the scale of things and the time you're being paid really big money may only be 5-6 years of your career for the average player. 340k is obviously pushing it, but about 90% of players come back into the real world after they've retired and what can they do apart from coaching or something, and there's only so much of that and it's nowhere near as well paid as being a player...

demise 3,517 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I've read somewhere it would be not 15m, but 20m per year... WTF? Football is crazy these days. Also, i know for sure that Roberto Carlos is having a bad time with racial abuse(the Anzi fans were throwing bananas at him couple of times), so im pretty sure Eto'O will get lots of the same. I wouldnt care if i was him tbh, 20m per year is enough to stop giving a fuck about fans reactions. But, considering the fact hes already being abused while playing at La Liga(i remember him refusing to play in some game few years back) and considering his reaction there, i still think he will have problems in Russia, even bigger than in Spain. On the other hand, i fail to see why the Anzi owner is keep trying to sign players like Roberto Carlos and Eto'O, when its clear that the fans will not feel comfortable and they will make players to feel even worse.

papaguy51 912 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 No problem whatsoever with it.These clubs are so rich that it won't make a difference and good on Eto'o and his agent for negotiating that.Eto'o does a massive amount of community work back in Cameroon and a good percentage of this money till be put to good use, as opposed to sitting in an a multi-billionaire's bank account.

I.e people like Will Smith Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks who easily pull in 20 million plus dollars for working on a film set for a couple of months.

The Man City owners make an extra £300m PER DAY when petrol rises by 1p a litre, these elite owners could give Eto'o £1m a week and they wouldn't particularly notice it.I have a problem when football clubs are giving players money they don't have, but that'll never be the case with a select few owners, one if which is the Anzhi owner.

Maybe once in a while they benefit of one transfer fee for one of their players, but that's ist and not worth a healthy business system, just because it's a one-time-benefit. Therefore these owners and sponsors are wrecking the whole stuff.This is no competition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smj 0 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 And besides....that damages the worth of developping and scouting football talent. In near future you better scout for wealthy sheiks than investing in the growth of you talent depth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
