Reported wages at the club

[different level 1,056]

On hindsight, after 2 years what he has achieved, seeing him earning that amount right now is obviously . But back when he joined, 67k p/w wages look reasonable.

Yup. When Mata joined he was considered a talented young player, but if his wages went beyond 100k p/w it'd have been far too much for his status at the time. Now he's established himself as one of the best playmaykers in Europe and I can see him sign a new contract soon.

Hazard is another example. He has almost triple the wages of Mata, but when he joined last summer he was (and still is) considered among the top attacking midfielders in Europe and it makes sense for him to earn that much.

Hold on one sec, Demba BA 80.000 while Oscar 40k and Mata 67k?

We are nuts.

Essien 70k. And he'll never play

[Ramires7 32]

the amount josh and chalobah are getting are ridiculous if this is true... damn english players always asking for more money

Count your blessings, Benayoun was one something like 100k

No way is Hazard on 185k. I thought it was in Terry's contract that he had to be highest or equal highest paid player anyway as part of his status as our leader. I seem to remember it was the main stipulation of his contract that he insisted on when he was briefly chatting shit about a transfer to City, so if Eden is on 185k then surely Terry would be as well. But imo its simply not true, he's probably on 110-120k.

These wages are from Jake Cohen. They are as accurate as it gets. He's put in a lot of effort. You can find them here and the reasoning he gives behind the numbers - http://www.weaintgotnohistory.com/2013/9/4/4659496/chelsea-player-wage-database

This is simply not true. I saw in this report Alex was on 100k, Anelka 150k, new boy Stipe Perica 15k, Hazard 185k., and then I stopped reading it...

No no no no no no NOOOO !!!

It's £110.000.(Source Belgian and French media)

Exactly! It pisses me off when people are just so gullible to believe any wages reported by the English media. Even know some idiots on Twitter who thinks Cole is on 200k p/w wages because of 1 news published by The Sun when he renewed his contract last year!

Mmmmm. Interesting :-)

[Barbara 15,149]

there's a reason why nor the club or the players divulge the information.

I don't buy it from English media... or French... or Belgian or whoever else.

This is confidential info anyway...

Jake Cohen is a lawyer and an analyst, who knows people in Sporting Intelligence, but its your opinion, so I don't want to change it.

In the article he says the wages are from reported fees from news articles.

exactly. It's a sum aggregate, but he's said it, to make sure there isn't a big scene. I'm not falling completely for it, but it is as close to the real deal as anything can be.

I'm definitely sure regarding Hazard's wages that they are incorrect - almost all of the French + Belgian media had him down at around £120k.

I seriously doubt Hazard is the highest earner in the squad.

And doubt the club will be such an idiot themselves to pay a 21 year old Hazard then, however talented he is, 180k p/w wages. Will only put ourselves in a disadvantage position when we negotiate contract renewal next time, if that happens. Moreover, the club has a wage structure in which they operate with and we aren't as ridiculous, like the media claim to be, to just simply offer a player astronomical wages like 300k p/w wages to someone for example or even 200k, 250k etc.
