According to the papers, Arsenal would have offered £120k per week - if true, it means he's effectively turned down £960,000 (gross) on his annual salary. I know there's a bit of a law of diminishing returns on this kind of thing - but even for a rich man, that's still a lot of money to turn down.

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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webbo Posted 22 July 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 22 July 2016 Share 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Vardy Posted 22 July 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out Foxed Posted 25 July 2016 Share 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
