Sometimes a club feels they have to do what they have to do. But you wonder where it will end and how long it will be before most players are earning close to £200k a week. |

If the club makes 100s of millions with significant help from the players, then they're fully entitled to a big wage. |

Like Man City, for example, whose wage bill is 107% of their turnover? |

A player should earn that though... rather than being given it before he's kicked a ball for the club. There should be a basic salary. If Young does fantastically and then wants even more money, how much are United going to end up giving him? |

Certain players like Ronaldo and Messi are worth every penny of it the likes of Gerrard and Torres have been worth their wages to us . It has gone out of control in recent years though. Average players are getting wages that only the top top players should be getting |

He wouldn't join a club at that price to be on the lower end of the pay scale. He'll match the top earners; Terry, Lampard, Essien etc |

How does it not, you said you've had a problem with wages for years. I said it's justified due to the revenues the clubs make. Then you used City as an example. One club that's gone mad recently. Your example makes no sense. |

You said "If the club makes 100s of millions with significant help from the players, then they're fully entitled to a big wage." No Man City player has contributed to the club making any profit, therefore your point has been proved wrong. Conveniently Man City can't be used as an example by your own rules, but at Chelsea, no player has made that club millions, it has come from a sugar daddyski. Does that satisfy your rules? ![]() I have moaned about wages for donkeys, how does proving you wrong with a recent example prove your point? |

Ok so your point is that because Citys wages are out of control, all clubs are? Who cares about City, they shouldn't even be part of this debate because their mental, using them as an example doesn't give a clear indication of player wages. It's like me saying Dawn French overeats, therefore every woman overeats. Stupid argument. On your Chelsea point, don't you think players brought a lot of money in through success on the pitch, prize money, sponsorship deals etc. Take Man Utd for a proper example, Jeffers posted today that they made a 90m operating profit. Why shouldn't the staff be entitled to a cut of that? Uefa/Fifa (can't remember where I read it) recommend that 70% of turnover being used on wages is a healthy, maintainable figure. A quick look at Google shows that even with City and Chelsea being taken into account, on average the Premier League clubs spend 67% of it's turnover on wages. |

Of course the wages in the Prem are out of control. Debt in the premiership is £3.5 billion. You do the maths. Take Roman from Chelsea, Saudi's from City and you have an implosion which takes the biggest clubs right to there knees. The fact that, despite mega income clubs still require cash injections from super rich owners screams out that the finance is wrong. Your point was that if a club has earned millions, players deserve a slice? My point is that it's not just the clubs which earn millions, it's virtually all clubs. The finances are a mess, hence the new rules UEFA are trying to to enforce. Read this : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-13679632 Then realise that the epidemic is out of control. |

We wouldnt match his wages with the likes of Terry, Lampard and Drogba because its only his frst season with us He will be on 70-90k a week, the likes of Drogba and Terry are club legends and helped us win trophies and played big parts, not to mention they both have been with us for over 5 years |
