matthefish2002 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) I am sure the exact figures are a bit of guess work but we can safely assume all of the first team squad are financially secure for life. In professional football terms as well they are all average players at best. Edited February 28, 2021 by matthefish2002 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 The difference in wages between some players in the squad and others can’t create a positive atmosphere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt68owls Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 if we have spent that kind of money this season on Marriott, Brown and Paterson then we get what we deserve, who decides to give very average players this kind of money? fuckwits 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like that at most clubs though. De Gea was rubbish for a year or so and signed a new contract for over £350K a week. Players like Shaw, first team regulars are probably on less than half of that. Norwich will have players on PL wages combined with new signings and younger players on much less. Doesn't stop them performing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasthagotanycheese Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Based on that the wages of the squad as a whole must be in the ballpark of half a million pounds a week or 26 million for the year. Just let that sink in when you see the performances and points return for the last 14 months. Something is very rotten at our club indeed. If DC hasnt already run out of money then he must be fairly close to it. Full scale reset required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might not be 100% accurate but I reckon most of them will be ball park judging by our previous wage bills. Not sure about Van Aken though. We have had a tendency not to let players go out on loan unless the loaning club pay most or all of the wages. Van Aken spent a year at a small 2nd division club in Germany, I can't imagine them paying £10K a week for him which would only have been 50% based on this.

In order to go and play football near the bottom of the German 2nd division? Fair play if that's the case but it really doesn't happen very often. Not like it massively aided his career either.

I’m thinking that a young guy who comes in to a toxic club, has already earned some decent cash, might just want to go to a club (and country) that is more like his own.

He had only earned 2 years of decent cash at that point. If he said he would forego say 25% of this supposed wage for a year in the German 2nd division that's a quarter of a million pounds he would have let go, I can't see it. That would still leave us paying 5K a week to him at 25% and the german club paying £10K, which I doubt they would do at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
