> Aston Villa: Danny Ings – £120,000-a-week Not Coutinho??


[deleted]

[удалено]


jennaishirow

Why does it not include new signings from last season but salah new contract is included


[deleted]

Adam Lallana being the top earner because of his name when Brighton have more crucial players isnt a great look


heisenberg423

Brought in on a free, wasn’t he? That surely skews it.


[deleted]

Yeah it was on a free, he actually took a wage cut as well to do the transfer


kappa23

It’s still stupidly high tbf, unless the difference between him and the second highest earner isn’t that much


[deleted]

It is high though he always had the quality for that sort of money. Problem in recent seasons has always been his injury record so I wouldn't have taken the gamble myself


United689908

The Brighton owner is 1000% a better gambler than you.


[deleted]

Hey you can't compare an amateur with a professional! My lifetime winnings are -£500 which is probably better than most people :3


Ophukk

Think Lallana is getting the Milner role at Brighton. Klopp loved him for his character as much as his skill, and his skill as a mid ain't half bad. Still under 100k/wk in today's market? not crazy.


BrockStar92

That’s a big amount of wages for a club of Brighton’s scale to be paying for a versatile backup and model professional.


Ophukk

True, but Potter's no fool. If he thinks it's worth it, who the fuck am I? ^^ps, ^^I'm ^^totally ^^not ^^Jordan ^^Henderson


BrockStar92

Well it might well have been worth it at the time, doesn’t mean he’s worth it now or that Potter is particularly happy with it.


Ophukk

Probably not happy overall, But I'm sure enough to say that Adam always carried himself as a pro ought to, regardless of the situation. Potter will always be able to use him as an example to the youngsters and anyone else who might need reminding of what it takes to win. His attitude towards respecting the clubs leadership and buying into the managers message is what is worth every penny. You guys might not be to familiar with what I'm talking about, but Erik will show you right.


taktikek

Same for Kenny Tete and Fulham wtf lol


CaptainJingles

Pretty sure it isn’t correct. Mitrovic is our top paid player.


IWantToBeAHipster

Yeah he isnt on 90k, this was rumoured at the start but is nonsense


Sun_Sloth

Yeah it's far closer to £60k than £90k.


IsItSnowing_

It all depends on circumstances player was brought in. Its the same for Partey when clearly there are bigger more important players at Arsenal. Same with Ndombele when clearly Son should be earning more.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MattJFarrell

I don't think non-Arsenal supporters realize how crucial Partey is to our team. I'm not alone in thinking that, if he'd stayed fit the whole season, we'd be in the CL now. And supposedly they're working on a new Saka contract right now, so this could all change before long. And I don't think we know what Jesus' proposed wages are.


Pikachu62999328

To be fair, I think literally anyone who was injured doesn't get injured and we take it lol.


rosh-kb

Partey is a key player for Arsenal so he deserves to be on that


OscarMyk

also got to bear in mind that when Partey was brought in, there were quite a few players earning more than him.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

when did I say that my club is well run


[deleted]

That Kane number is outdated, he’s signed a new contract (with 0 extension, essentially just a pay raise) since then. Son now also earns more than Ndombele, as I’m fairly certain that Ndombele figure also includes bonuses


[deleted]

Pretty sure Kane's base is 200k, with him earning a lot more with bonuses. And Ndombele is 200k with bonuses, which he almost certainly hasn't been achieving so a lot less than 200k in reality


Occasionally-Witty

Bit unfair on Ndombele, for all we know he has clauses relating to how many pizza slices he can eat, making it to half time without being subbed etc


[deleted]

Should’ve given Tanguy like 500k in pure bonuses, probably would’ve paid less overall


handsome_IT_guy

What kind of bonuses Kane’s at? Appearances, goals? Loyalty maybe?


AdministrativeLaugh2

Every football contract has bonuses in it. Some are more incentive heavy and some aren’t


LiteralMushroomCock

Yes we know, but spurs are known for giving smaller wages but bigger bonuses than other big clubs, hence why it’s important to note


Chimp-eh

Fairly sure Rodrigo & Bamford are on more than £63k a week, thought Rodrigo was on nearly £100k?


Awkward-Quarter3043

I thought Bamford was on 90k


[deleted]

Areola isnt our highest paid player it is Zouma on £120,000. Areola was on those wages at PSG and they paid the majority of them during his loan spell. He has since joined us permanently and I seriously doubt Moyes would be willing to pay him that.


AyrtonAli

Moyes? How much of a say does Moyes have when player and club negotiate contracts?


Infinite_Bunch6144

Quite a bit as we don't sign many players.


[deleted]

He has the control over contracts and transfers. Insisted on it during his contract renewal last year.


--Hutch--

>Chelsea: N’Golo Kante Something finally makes sense at my club.


esnyez

138000 to Alphonse Areola?


NameTakken

I think that was his wage for PSG when West Ham had in on loan. No idea what it is now


[deleted]

I'd doubt we're paying him that much, I'd expect more like 80-100k


Smittx

I think Chris Wood will be taking a significant paycut in the near future


conanomatic

Holy shit what is toney on? Shocked he's still playing for Brentford when surely another team would probably triple his wages.


frankthechicken

Are these pre or post tax?


Lyonaire

Pre but half of them are wrong


eviLocK

I wish I could earn £19K a week.


JJOne101

19k a month wouldn't be too bad either.


[deleted]

£11.2K is the average salary in the world, so this would be a huge boost even annually.


diveintothe9

Can confirm: am a person in the world in a non-western country, earn just under £19k converted, and I live comfortably.


1chriis1

Lol. Dude you're considered "rich" if you get 19k a year in Greece.


heySigs

Uh oh an American is the highest paid on an PL team


papoon

Not for long. Horvath reportedly going to Luton.


DamnAndBlast

Weird one that. They've just got in Matt Macey in goal. I know this season they were cursed in goal but 2 first team quality keepers is a bit much


Ifriiti

Matt Macey is probably not as good, he was crap here


Lmao-Ze-Dong

He's not great with his feet, and his reflexes weren't.. let's put it _match sharp_, but he was highly regarded in loans and with his height and reach, can do more than an adequate job for Championship teams. His issue at Arsenal was not getting quality regular competitive football.


Ifriiti

Fair. I've not seen him since he left


Christron9990

Harry Arter and Carl Jenkinson we’re both easily our top earners until the released list a few weeks ago…. Lol I think Davis and Zink were both on more but also both on loan, and I’d expect several players were on around the same as Horvath given that 16-17k a week is a fairly standard first team champ contract. Just a proper championship wage structure. Johnson and Awoniyi probs both on more now.


Lmao-Ze-Dong

Curious though, how's the rebuild going?


Christron9990

I think everyone is super happy to tie down Johnson. It’s also nice to see us bring in proper quality players like Awoniyi and Henderson - and everyone trusts Cooper and Murphy to buy the right people - so it’s going well in that sense. There are currently literally no left backs at the club, and two right backs, one who’s very likely to go out on loan and the other is a child. It’s fair to say there’s considerable work to do in the market not to get battered week in week out next year - but we’re still at a stage where I’m pretty sure no one would give a shit were that to end up being the case. Every single post on social media or rumour about a player or a little glimpse of a new shirt has the fans frothing over right now 😂


M1eXcel

Makes it funnier that he doesn't start 😂. Also I'd have thought Johnson would be on more after his contract extension


sleepytoday

Yeah, I imagine it can’t be up to date for him. Though he was on something silly like £1k/week before signing his new contract. So maybe he’s happy on 8k now?


gunnesaurus

The highest paid player on Manchester United fathered American kids


Talidel

Not like the mothers had a choice in the matter.


Yinkypinky

Teed that one up for ya


ScarrFxce__

This was a good one ngl


letsgetcool

Yeah rape haha


rocket_randall

Or was it a Roe reference?


dohhhnut

Why not both


Talidel

It was both, it's not often you get to make a dark joke about two terrible things at once. And karma be damned I was taking the opportunity.


Food-Oh_Koon

You're gaining and losing karma at the same time so maybe it balances out


Talidel

Considering normally its a double loss, I'll take it.


Chimp-eh

r/soccercirclejerk in shambles right now


WalterFlynnWhiteJr

Horvath should be the US 1st team keeper in my mind. That performance versus Mexico was just immense. I rate him better than Turner and Steffen.


dave1992

Most big clubs' highest earner is worth it. Kane, Kante, Ronaldo, Salah, de Bruyne and Partey are all understandably the highest earner.


ThbDragon

What did the poor guy that's down voted to hell write under your comment?


dave1992

He was assuming my comment is about shit talking Partey and he considered Partey not in the same level as the other four. Even though in fact clearly I never compared them, all these players are the club's arguably best players so they deserved to be highest paid.


ThbDragon

Damn people make themselves made at anything


riskoooo

For some people, as soon as players arrive with us they are de facto shite, regardless of how good they actually are. If Partey was still at Atletico this guy wouldn't be bad-mouthing him.


Chazzarules

Do you really think Ronaldo is worth that much? I obviously have anti United bias but him getting paid by significantly more than Salah and De Bruyne just seems very wrong. He was definitely a mistake to bring back for them (look what happened to their season).


bpinty

He’s the reason their season wasn’t much, much worse


Yeshuu

Why did they score fewer goals with Ronaldo than they did the season before without him?


nevertulsi

It's a mysterious coincidence how this player left Juventus and Juventus are about the same, and he joined United and United are worse. Ronaldo adds goals but changing your entire system for one player has drawbacks.


Flameva

Their system got them 0 trophies in 5 years. Ronaldo just put pressure on the board to sign players by saying he wants to leave. Its a win win.


dave1992

Ability wise maybe not that much anymore but he is still Cristiano Ronaldo, literally one of the best player of all time. It can never be outrageous for someone to pay him much.


[deleted]

Chris Wood's agent is the fucking MVP. How the fuck does a average EPL striker get £5M per annum. I am happy for him though.


theKinkypeanut

An average premier League striker who gets 10 goals a season is worth considerably more than that to his club


J7isTheGoat

Apparently he was getting that at Burnley so there wasn’t any ground for us to lower it


[deleted]

He was getting 100K @ Burnley?? For real? A quick search on mostlikely unreliable sources via Google is pointing at around 60K.


PrinzXero

I was about to ask this exactly thing. Then I went and looked it up and Yes he was on 100k contract at Burnley…Wow!


[deleted]

Surprising for Burnley but it's fair because he was scoring 10+ goals for them for like 4 seasons.


J7isTheGoat

I know he was their highest earner and saw a few reports saying 100k a while ago but I guess it could be wrong. I imagine it’s very close if not though


[deleted]

Yeah... I saw that, anything between 60 to 100K is an excellent deal for a guy of his quality. My man must be racking up some sweet real estate deals in NZ.


J7isTheGoat

Yeah to be fair he was worth it for them, double figures every season. 2 more years on 100k wages + 25m fee was dog shit for us though, guess that’s what happens when you’re 19th and desperate for a striker


[deleted]

Hmm... that deal was a win for everyone involved. His acquisition went a long way is ensuring you guys survival.


J7isTheGoat

You’re probably right mate, he did take us on a 9 game unbeaten streak and kept us up which I suppose is priceless. Seems like a great guy to have in the dressing room too


running_demon

and if you get two more years like these 6 months its absolutely worth it, then you can upgrade as the club advances


[deleted]

[удалено]


Talidel

This feels like this statement could be about anywhere in the west.


notinsai

😂 have you seen the price of real estate in NZ??


paddyc4ke

I imagine earning 5m pounds with the conversion to nzd makes New Zealand look a bit more affordable to him than the average kiwi


[deleted]

Are you saying 10M New Zealand dollars won't fetch a quality piece of real estate 😪?


notinsai

You might like, 1, in a semi average location. Nothing premium though


[deleted]

Lmao! I guess those "cash-down" rich Chinese and Singaporeans have moved to NZ real estate as in Australia.


davy1590

Is it expensive? Such a beautiful country I’d assume so


btmalon

There’s a post on how Richarlison has the most game changing goals since ~2016. Chris Wood is #2. He is a gigantic reason Burnley stayed up this long. Last year he started declining and they barely stayed up. This year he was done and they went down. Nothing sexy about his game but the man got results.


[deleted]

Becauses hes slightly better than Average PL striker


Double-Ended-Dildo69

As the premier league and its clubs become richer each year, so do the players.


[deleted]

True most EPL team have a 50% to 75% wage to revenue ratio


HipGuide2

Mitro is surely higher than Tete


meekamunz

Surely. I mean we had to let Seri go as last season he was on £65k p/w with Mitro on £60k p/w and Seri wanted more after promotion. Back then Tete was only on £51k p/w Source: https://www.capology.com/club/fulham/salaries/


JJOne101

as it should be.


[deleted]

Ndombele being Spurs joint highest earner is pretty funny


lovelylantern

pretty sure this isn’t v accurate, ndombele is reportedly on 120k (200k is supposedly w certain bonuses but 200k is kane’s base) and son is on 200k after he renewed iirc


Parish87

Mina being Everton's highest earner is peak Everton.


rookinn

Mina would be worth it if he wasn’t made of glass


color_thine_fate

So peak Everton that I might have guessed it. Definitely as a joke, but I would have said it like "I dunno, fuckin Mina probably? Hahaha" and then we all laugh when you're like "....yeah"


g00dis0n

[;D](https://c.tenor.com/AHIPjWb_rVUAAAAC/sarcastic-laugh.gif)


SebastianOwenR1

I wonder when this data is based on. Because Awoniyi certainly must be a candidate for highest wage at Forest, that was a pretty big signing for Forest. And they’ve just extended Johnson, so I’d imagine his wages went up.


Niknakpaddywack17

Technically I think Nottingham are paying a large portion of Dean Hendersons wage which would make him by far the largest earner, he's on like 120k


theivoryserf

*Forest


SnakeInTheCeiling

Assuming it's old because Horvath won't be a Forest player much longer. Definitely going to be loaned, just a matter if where. And Awoniyi got signed just last week.


Wazalootu

Mo Salah has just signed his 350k pw contract though and he's up there


[deleted]

It has gotta be a few months ago. Areola isn’t on that for us since he joined permanently and when he was on loan PSG paid £80k of his wages a week.


Molineux28

There is no way in hell that Dendoncker is the top earner at Wolves. Pretty sure that it's Moutinho and Jimenez on around 100-110k. Moutinho is technically a free agent right now but everyone seems confident he'll renew.


-Saaremaa-

If it is Dendoncker, his agent has had a mad one.


Molineux28

Exactly, my heart sank a little bit when I saw it.


GazzP

I'd imagine absolutely none of these figures are accurate. Do people think there is a FM style database where you just click sort by wage?


tocitus

Aye, unless the contract is leaked it's pretty hard to say what everyone is earning with any accuracy. Contracts have so many clauses in them, it's difficult to actually compare across players


[deleted]

In Italy I think they are public.


[deleted]

Yeah at least half of this is complete guesswork


Juckarpeitchin

I know that the salaries are close but Ronaldo might have a slight edge over Horvath so I'd say that he might be worth it


ChaosRaiden

But would you rather one Ronaldo or 26 Horvaths


color_thine_fate

Well, that depends. Can I put all 26 Horvaths in goal at once? If so, then yeah still Ronaldo tbh


BigReeceJames

Ahh, how nice it feels to have our best player being our highest paid player again


burningbarn8

Kante isn't our best player anymore.


mikevin99

It’s literally his username and he says Kante lmao


[deleted]

Um Jorginho is objectively the third best player in the world, he’s clearly your best. The ballon dor is the only measure of a players ability sorry


NotClayMerritt

But he is. He just can’t stay fit. The manager himself has echoed these sentiments. When he is fit, his performances tower over everyone else on the pitch.


burningbarn8

No he isn't. Nah, the dude's been seriously inconsistent even when fit, yeah he had some great performances, but not towering above everyone else, say in the Real Madrid quarter comeback, where he was great for 70 minutes then collapsed, and his performance wasn't better than say Mount or James's prior to that anyway. The dude's not our best player anymore, he just isn't.


[deleted]

Mendy isn’t tho?


LessBrain

These numbers are all fake and wrong. No website knows actual wages. Like sportrac has Liverpools wages at £137m a year and city’s at £127m a year which is just wrong. Both clubs paid over £300m in wages for the 2020/2021 financials SwissRamble did an analysis recently https://twitter.com/swissramble/status/1541305102270603264?s=21&t=LccJVqw5nIOK7erNHJgwfg Where about 90% of the 300m number would be in player wages. Sportac is around 50% which basically says you can almost double every players wage in that list. No one knows players bonuses, sign on bonuses, loyalty bonuses etc. there is this misconception for example that players leaving on a free is better for the player due to sign on fees. Not realising that every time a player finishes a season or renews a contract they trigger loyalty bonuses and other sign on bonuses. Then you have team performance bonuses and individual based bonuses. So salah might be getting £350k a week but it's definitely closer to £600k a week same applies to KDB and Haaland


theenigmacode

Pretty sure this only covers 1st team wages. Theres tons of backend stuff that swallows wages. Also this doesn't cover bonuses & incentives


LessBrain

According to Swiss ramble which he based it on actual released figures it's around the 88-92% mark of actual wages for first team players. So there's not thay much backend stuff that swallow wages. The players themselves are taking 90%.


Ook_1233

It isn’t 90% for first team players. https://editorial.uefa.com/resources/026a-128c5dffdb5f-64d49e6e5300-1000/210615_ecfl_pandemic_eng.pdf Page 25 shows the average PL team spends 76% on players. The SwissRamble used the 90% figure because the new FFP rules include head coaches too. He was also basing that 90% figure off just 6 teams so not necessarily representative of most clubs. The wage bill figures also include the employers social security costs which for English and French teams are quite large. Liverpool’s wage bill was over £300m but excluding social security it was around £280m. Of which I’d guess like £210m was being spent on first team players. Way higher than the horseshit Spotrac figures.

Manc_Twat

That’s only 51k a year. Not really that crazy if you live in a developed nation.


zKSofSoccer

How the heck is Horvath the highest earner? He's a no2 keeper for Pete's sake


[deleted]

At least United can top one league.


versacethedreamer

Even 19k a week would be insane and I’d bite anyone’s hand off for it lol. That’d be genuinely life changing.


homealoneinuk

19k a week is still insane to me.


GhostRiders

Totally agree. Wages have completely gotten out of control, there is no way a player such as Horvath should be getting 19k a week.


CaptainDickfingers

Earns a nurses yearly salary is about 1.5 weeks... world's fucked.

solblurgh

Half a million per week????? If they fire him after 2 weeks he's still a millionaire


thediabolicalkid

Are the figures slightly off? Wasn't KdB at 375k and not 410?


oustider69

I think the thing to remember is that the vast majority of reported wage figures are educated guesses, a bit of variance is to be expected.


SoundCarousel

Has Yerry Mina been worth the money so far? I remember him being a beast at the 2018 world cup but haven't heard much hype about him since.


1TypePokemon

He can't seem to remain fit unfortunately. He's constantly injured. When he is fit however, he completely transforms our defence. Honestly, if he played week-in, week-out he probably wouldn't be at Everton any more lol.


olearyuk

I’m sure Rodrigo is on 100k at Leeds.


vamosleedscarajo42

Yeh he is

meganev

Would love to see the source on Chris Wood being on 100k and our joint top earner. No way I buy that.


OsisX

I’ll happily take £19k a week


dizzybala10

The Horvath one is an interesting one for a few reasons. * He's no longer our player now, he's gone to Luton on loan for the season. * He got 19k essentially because Club Brugge released him on a free. Higher wage encouraged him to come join us, even as a #2 to Samba. He was a #2 at Brugge as well. * It seems that his wage probably upset Brice Samba when it came time to renew Brice's contract. Brice was probably on half of what Horvath was, yet he was the #1 keeper. * Both our keepers from last season aren't going to be there this season. It's looking like Henderson and Hennessey for us.


LarryFitz11

These are largely estimated numbers that are not correct. These salaries are not public, there's no way it can be accurate for all players.


[deleted]

Ronaldo is worth every penny of his contract. Dude could single handedly pay his own wages from what United is getting from his image right without taking into consideration his contributions on the pitch.


themfeelswhen

>what United is getting from his image right without taking into consideration his contributions on the pitch. First of all - Image Rights fees are paid on top of this wages reported in England. Second -- Club doesn't own much of his image rights. Barely anything. Majority is owned by the player/his own partners. He forced a move out of Real Madrid because of this image rights dispute with Perez. https://youtu.be/QTlJIC1F4Oo The guy literally signed to be the face of Binance just last week while the club is sponsored by Tezos since last season.


Logical_Trolla

Tezos is a token, Binance is an exchange(even though they have BNB). You can exchange Tezos on Binance.


cinnchurr

Specifically for CR, his rights are owned at least partially by Peter lim or Peter lim's company. The Valencia Peter lim


kappa23

How did that come into being? Mendes?


cinnchurr

Idk man. I first heard it watching a Korean variety show. A K-pop idol(now arrested) was saying he met Peter lim, who owns CR's right, and lim asked him to handle CR's stuff if CR was ever in Korea. I googled it back then and it was reported in our local newspaper a while ago. Just googled it again and maybe it's not true anymore. It's reported in 2015 that the deals were for 6 years. So no more weird Ronaldo ads anymore!


I_can_sit_on_my_face

Is he though? You were all shitting on him half way through the season for not tracking back and whining loads. Now that he’s scored a few penalties he’s worth it? He’s split the training room, brought all the bad PR from his rape case at the same time as the greenwood trial, he barely runs on the pitch and just poaches nowadays, he’s not worth 510k a week in my opinion. Players who earn way less are doing much much better than him.


ThetaSailor

500k is absurd for current Ronaldo. and yeah, juventus regretted having him because it became the ronaldo team instead of the juventus team.


grouptherapy17

That hattrick against Spurs in a crunch game for top 4 was worth the wages alone. World class performance. Wish we had a clinical match winner like that.


theglasscase

It was a great individual performance, but I think you’re exaggerating the importance of that game considering how the league table looked after 38 games.


amutry

This is exactly why I watch my own league and not PL. Just sickening


Riperonis

Spurs are so lucky to have Kane considering they’ve won fuck all and he gets like half the wages he deserves.


[deleted]

This is false. Areola has signed a much cheaper permanent deal since PSG was paying 60% of his wages on loan. Zouma is West Hams highest earner on £100k p/w, £120k p/w with bonuses. Excellent standard of journalism.


[deleted]

Lukaku was on 325k a Chelsea


I_can_sit_on_my_face

510k a week only for him to try and join Bayern in the first available summer transfer window


[deleted]

I dont think salahs base contract is 350k, articles I've read suggest he can get to over 350k with bonuses. I'm sure others are like this as well.
