Allegedly he's on 75k. This time last year I think it was (allegedly) 40k. Liverpool's wages are still way higher than Spurs'.
The media will not let a petty little thing like a long term contract stand in its way of ensuring predictable football every season
Not to rub it in but he signed the contract last summer too so it's not like he's on an outdated, old contract
I see a problem with this. A player being valued at 40-50 mil in the next transfer window could, if he keeps improving be classed at 60-70 mil in 18 months time but, by this time FFP will be in full force and i can only see players values dropping in the next few years as clubs have to trim their costs.
Can you explain this in more detail, I don't fully get the FFP rules to be honest Diego. What differences will it make?
If football was just a European game this might be true but it's not, it's global. There is little sign of the money that is pouring into football is diminishing, quite the the opposite. I can't remember a time when transfer fees took a serious backward move bar the odd blip. Huge clubs have huge turnovers and they will continue to use this financial muscle. I doubt clubs like Barca, Bayern, Man U, Arsenal will be affected by FFP. Just selling shirts in China would do the trick.
It would take many pages to explain it in detail, in short if you don`t earn it you will not be able to spend it. Not many teams make enough of a profit to spend 60+mil on a single player.
Which clubs outside of Europe are you thinking of that take top European players for record fees? it is usually European clubs that spend the silly money.
That's true atm but how long before China, Brazil, Korea, and so on join the party in a serious way? I don't know! but it's difficult to project the transfer market with the major shift in the worlds economies that is taking place. Drogba, Anelka, Gazza have all played in these leagues at the end of their careers, the next step would be to take such players in their prime.
