I just seen a stat that United pay there 3 keepers 600k a week combined

That is currently more than Liverpool's top 3 earners combined

That's madness if it's actually true,

Surely they can't be on 600 k between them

Arsenal are playing €300K+ to Ozil who may not even be in their squad, according to SSN today. I still think certain players will demand these kind of wages but that clubs will be a lot more circumspect for the foreseeable future.

Hows it a stat?

And did you look into it anymore?

Where is the link to where you saw it?

from what ive read it would mean romero is on 175k a week which is hard to believe

Obviously an elite source here

Says romeo is on 70k a week (believable, as he's a fantastic no. 2)

And Henderson on 120k (shocked at this, good keeper but 120k for someone not even established in the first team yet)

pjohnson · 25-09-2020 06:03AM

Borthwick Jackson and O'Hara were released.

Tuanzebe and James dont play for free.

If McTominay earns 10k my wife is Megan Fox (clue - she isn't)

The wages Utd pay some of their players is astonishing and yet every table I see shows Liverpool just behind them. I think it's the outliers that raise the eyebrows De Gea, Pogba and the billion dollar Sanchez, particularly given how they are performing.

Would Liverpool's overall wage bill that they show end up including the bonuses paid out to the players for winning what they have won the last couple of seasons.

I genuinely don't know but they have had a huge wage bill which I hadn't noticed up to recently. I can't believe some clubs are not paying some of their players off the books in some way.

I read somewhere recently that alot of LFC players had contract clauses that gave them substantial increases for winning the CL / League.

VVD for example was stated as being on around £180pw but winning the league gave him a 40% increase. The likes of Robertson and TAA who are arguably the best two players in the world in their positions currently are reported to be paid £50 and £40k pw respectively. When they are negotiating their next deals they have a CL and PL winners medal to wave infront of the LFC board so expect at a minimum a bump of £100k a piece per week.

The problem (sic) with winning the biggest trophies is that players expect to be remunerated for it. If you dont do that then they will look to move somewhere that will. Uniteds problem has been that we havnt been competing for the major trophies for 7 years now and are unlikely to for a minimum of 2 seasons. We simply arent as attractive anymore so either overpaid to make signings eg Sanchez or overpaid to keep existing players eg DDG or Rashford.

One could make peace with the kind of money they are being paid if we were winning leagues or CL's but earning that kind of loot for staggering over the line to a top 4 finish last season is simply ridiculous.

DM_7 · 25-09-2020 08:28AM

Yep, United are clearly paying too much to have three keepers and Lee Grant. That is why Romero looks to be off.

De Gea earns a huge wage. To United at least it made sense to give him a new contract to stay instead of him leaving for free like Herrera. When players have contracts running out they have power to ask for big wages in lieu of a transfer fee.

Romero was a free transfer back in the day.

Henderson is a youth product and again had some bargaining power and United have effectively paid him a premium to compensate for not sending him on loan or selling to another club. His situation is the real anomaly.

Edit: The De Gea and Henderson situation is very unusual and could be a mess as time passes due to the wages De Gea is on.

Romero would be a great signing for Everton, better option than Pickford given JP's current form

gimli2112 · 25-09-2020 08:32AM

steady on Wuff Wuff we don't want Everton improving that much

Where I read it had

Romero 90k
Henderson 120k
De Gea 390

As my post says "Surely that can't be true"

To be fair they have 4 very good goal keepers

Henderson , Romero and even Grant would all be as good if not better than any no 2 in the premier league

I was amazed Sheffield United didn't ask for him on loan when Henderson went back ( maybe they did) ,He's a proper good goal keeper

Liverpool's contracts are heavily performance based reportedly. There must be large bonuses paid out for winning the league and CL.

Liverpool will probably charge players if they win a domestic cup under Klopp

Imagine that is the best way to do it. Good guaranteed pay and rewards for on pitch success.

I imagine such incentives are incremental also in line with the prize money clubs get for where they finish or progress in a competition.

25-09-2020 10:36AM

I think what's more baffling is that people still have this idea that players are paid weekly.

I'd imagine they are paid monthly but players wages are reportedly weekly so thats why its talked like that.

It's reported as weekly by the media as most people relate to being paid weekly. It's simply their reported yearly salary divided by 52.

And therein lies the problem. Nobody knows what variables make up a yearly salary and yet it is reported as fact.

Different facts in every outlet mind you.

FluffPiece · 25-09-2020 01:27PM

I've read on a few occasions that the liverpool reported wages include all staff and not just playing staff, where other clubs some of the wage reports are only player staff.

I have read Man City have some back office staff paid like that alright

Out of date now but just as samples

Brighton the better team so far in the early kick off.

Mushy · 26-09-2020 12:11PM

Jesus maupay the balls

rob316 · 26-09-2020 12:11PM

Some cool peno that is.

Well deserved united are awful, been pressed and outfought all over the pitch. Again I have to question the pursuit of Sancho, they need a centre back and defensive midfielder.

martyos121 · 26-09-2020 12:11PM

Fantastic penalty from Maupay, 1-0 Brighton and well deserved.

Bruno is very lucky not to get a second yellow for giving away the penalty too, very cynical foul when you see it again.

DVDM93 · 26-09-2020 12:16PM
