Well he has just released his autobiography, he'll easily make a good £50 from the sales of that. Plus the movie will be a huge money spinner for him, then he's got the V9 academy thing going on too. Then sponsorships and bonuses etc. Quite refreshing to see someone still turn down some extra cash, doesn't happen enough these days (Kante think of anyone else that would N'Golo elsewhere just for the money)

Webbo Posted 22 July 2016 Posted 22 July 2016 I read this morning that Eric Diers new contract was £70k pw and that made him Tottenham's highest earner. It seems we have to pay more than some for loyalty

This is why I can never listen to it. I've got no time for click bait, trolling or any of that kinda stuff. Seriously, just come up with an interesting discussion and people will listen, you don't need to piss them off to generate 'content'.
Webbo Posted 22 July 2016 Posted 22 July 2016 31 minutes ago, Finnegan said: Absolute horse shit. I'm slightly wrong it says "one of the highest paid" ottenham Hotspur will hand Eric Dier a new five-year contract as reward for his superb form for club and country. Dier, who will become one of the club’s best-paid players on around £70,000-a-week, was one of Tottenham’s stand-out performers last season after being converted into a defensive midfielder by manager Mauricio Pochettino. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/07/21/eric-dier-to-be-rewarded-with-new-five-year-tottenham-contract-a/
Finnegan Posted 22 July 2016 Posted 22 July 2016 Quoting the article doesn't make it any more accurate, Webbo. I wasn't saying it was horse shit that you read it, I believed that bit! The article is trash though.

st albans fox Posted 22 July 2016 Posted 22 July 2016 I'm sure 70k would be one of their highest paid players. lloris probably best paid 80/90k. others would be dembele and lamela at that sort of figure. I believe many of the players will be renegotiating this summer up to the 60/80k area. their main problem is the size of their squad. too big.
filbertstreet Posted 22 July 2016 Posted 22 July 2016 wasn't adebayor on well past 100k when he was there?

Saxondale Posted 22 July 2016 Posted 22 July 2016 Just now, Webbo said: Eric Dier was our best player by a mile. I don't see it personally. He constantly passed sideways (in classic England style) and every time he tried a long through ball he hoofed it into touch. Also, he was supposed to be 'covering the back four', which he failed to do consistently, leading to us conceding on at least one occasion. 1
Reg Vardy Posted 22 July 2016 Posted 22 July 2016 Reckon the club handled Vardy's pay structure brilliantly. Arsenal 3 years @£120k per week, taking him to age 32. Total earnings over 3 years £18.72 mill Foxes offered 4 year £100k taking him to 33. Total earnings over 4 years £20.8 mill. Made sense given his age to stay at Leicester. Great management. 2

Out Foxed Posted 25 July 2016 Posted 25 July 2016 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/jul/27/radamel-falcao-monaco-leicester-city completely forgot Ranieri was in charge that day, i guess we have that friendly to be thankful for for getting him. I'm glad because i came away thinking what a waste of money after watching that dire game.
carled Posted 25 July 2016 Posted 25 July 2016 If you want some entertaining reading, type "Leicester ****ing City" into google (including the quotes and without the swear filter version) and enjoy the multitude of articles and posts :-)

Whilst it's a good wack (you'd lose nearly half of it in tax mind) to a man poised to gross £5.2M a year you'd think other factors could play a part, such as the fact he's the main man here, his family are settled here (lives here, kids schooled here) we're the PL champions and in pot 1 in the CL......plus there's that really great look alike of him who he loves so much. How much of it is actually down to loyalty to the club fans I dunno but ultimately who cares.
