Who says Footie is for sissies

7 years 4 months ago - 7 years 4 months ago

These guys have to budget extremely tightly.... I mean if one has to convert into SA Rands, Neymar only earns 45.4 million rand a month wages.... That's without endorsements etc.... Shame man, my heart bleeds for the sacrifices they have to make.....

Expensive to live in Europe things are not cheap and with the pound crashing because of Brexit it’s getting more expensive in the UK

A high percentage of the players buy houses etc for their family and look after them. The tax they pay must be as high as 50% The new Arsenal player has his cars covered in chrome and his nice cars covered in gold leaf.

The clubs get their money, in the main, from television rights that is paid for by subscribers...us lay folk that enable them to pay the salaries that the players earn...

According to Football Leaks: The Dirty Business of Football, the Brazilian currently earns a basic wage of £68,085-a-week - and a lot more in bonuses.

He allegedly earned £25,000 for each of his first five goals, £45,000 for his goals between six and 10, £65,000 from 11 to 15, and £85,000 from then on.

So yesterdays goal against Southampton earned Firmino £85k, add his weekly wage and thats a staggering £150k for the week. Nice job if you can get it.

With paydays like that, why would he want to get an assist? Prime cause for a selfish player..... Although in saying that, he is not selfish at all... One of the biggest work rates in world football... I actually like him cause of that.
