Taken from the internet: Sunderland are in a precarious position as it stands, having been overtaken by Newcastle on the weekend to drop into 18th place, albeit with a game in hand. They have gained a bit of a reputation for narrowly escaping relegation in recent seasons, putting up an unbelievable fight in their last few games to ensure survival. This time around though, it looks a bit tricky, and with their last three matches coming up against Chelsea, Everton and Watford, they may not make it back up. How much do their players earn, though? The Daily Star has revealed the weekly wages, give or take a few quid. Take a look below. 1. Jermaine Defoe - The former Spurs striker earns £80,000 every week. 2. Fabio Borini - This Italian forward is on £60,000 per week. 3. Lee Cattermole - The midfielder takes home a £50,000-a-week wage. 4. John O'Shea - £47,000, is what he earns. 5. Dame N'Doye - Trabzondpor's on-loan striker makes £40,500 weekly. 6. Jeremain Lens - This Dutchman gets paid £40,000-a-week. 7. Whabi Khazri - £40,000-a-week, he's on. 8. Lamine Kone - Makes £40,000 weekly as well. 9. Wes Brown - The former Manchester united man earns £40,000-a-week at Sunderland. 10. Jack Rodwell - £37,000-a-week. 11. Younes Kaboul - The versatile defender makes £35,000 every week. 12. Seb Larsson - Also makes £35,000-a-week. 13. Billy Jones - The fullback earns £32,000 weekly. 14. Jan Kirchhoff - £30,000 per week. 15. Ola Toivonen - This midfielder earns £28,000 every week. 16. Yann M'Villa - £25,000-a-week. 17. Patrick van Aanholt - The ex-Chelsea defender is on £25,000-a-week too. 18. Vito Mannone - The stopper earns £22,500 weekly. 19. Duncan Whatmore - £20,000-a-week. 20. Jordan Pickford - The 22-year-old keeper earns £20,000-a-week. 21. DeAndrea Yedlin - £15,000 every week. 22. Steve Harper - The former Newcastle man makes £10,000 weekly. Quite possibly a load of tosh but thought I would put it on here, if not HOW MUCH a week for N'Doye
If that's accurate there are several players being paid much more than they are worth, comparatively speaking.
Most seem feasible but I just cannot believe we are paying Steve Harper half a million pounds per year. The chances he would even get to sit on the bench were minimal when signed him... Also 13. Billy Jones - The fullback earns £32,000 weekly. 14. Jan Kirchhoff - £30,000 per week. doesn't sit quite right with me...
So what? Are we supposed to be happy or pissed off with those numbers? I wouldn't expect most middling clubs, which we aspire to be, paying anything different overall, on average. So some players are under-performing. We all know that already. It's a non story to me.
Was well documented that Defoe would earn 80k if he activates his clauses (performance and goals). It's the star though. Mirrors sister paper almost!! Also, the article is making out the relegation is a problem due to wages (seems to be alluding to that) but it's also well known that we have relegation clauses in our contracts. Basically... Looks like utter **** to me. Watmore and Pickfird 20k a week? Aye of course Also pretty sure Harper is on around £2k a week.
Nothing too crazy there in my opinion. Defoe is probably underpaid given how important he has been to you! That being said, I wouldn't trust the Daily Star and I'd be curious as to their "source"
Not surprised at all by any of those figures. Also re Watmore and Pickford, these are our two prized assets (in terms of our youngsters), they've both been given new contracts recently. I'd guess they've both been given release clauses in them as well. £20k p/w doesn't surprise me at all. Was it just our wages published in this article or have all teams been put online?
Defoe should be on £100,000 a week and Khazri £80,000, Kirchoff £70,000. Borini £5,000 a week until he scores !. If I was Short and a billionaire RONALDO would be here on £500,000 a week no bother plus bonuses for all the supporters who have put up with crap for the last 40+ years.
Monty, do you know what? I never know how to take you. Are you a wum, an inigma, a piss take an idiot, on meds, street drugs. What is it with you? I just can't work you out lad. I do enjoy your posts though. My daughter is a psychologist. I'll get her to have a read through your posts.
****ing hell billy! Don't let her on monty man or she'll need therapy herself! Agree he's entertaining but he's also a complete barmpot as my Scottish mate at work would say
I've said it before, I think he's genuine SAFC fan but has legitimate mental issues, most likely aspergers / autism or something similar. Be interesting to see what your daughter reckons.
Yes, I agree & if that arsehole Irish **** that owns the site ever gets the search button sorted she might be able to help.
He's funny as ****. 100% SAFC. 100% of his nut. I like him, he doesnt give a **** what he says. While most of it is utter ****e, like get Ronaldo for 500k a week, he has often come out with some truthful facts. The facts or opinions most dont want to hear, so on that front dismiss his posts. He is not fooled by SA,
Im sure at the time it was said Watmore would now be on 14k a week. But even if it is 20k why would anyone be suprised? Its the Prem league where nearly everyone is on crazy money.
Why has this gone unnoticed. http://www.gazzettaworld.com/news/s...dfall-alvarez-case/?refresh_rum&refresh_ce-cp What a **** up.
