But thats what players get paid these days... We wouldn't have got him if we said we are only paying you 60k... And can you blame him. Its not like anyone is gonna try and find a job and not try and maximise their wages. If we didn't pay those wages we wouldn't get that calibre of players, and neither would any team, unless they have some relationship with the player that is pre-existing. Like being a supporter of them or something. And some people have said that after the team give bad performances. What value would mean they wern't overpaid. 50k a week is a shit load of money, if they don't put the effort many would still class them as "overpaid". To the teams we are competing with our wages are on par, and that is just the way the situation is.
