tbh football itself is a cool sport but as you see on the highest level it's just a ridicilious money business game.. champions league with always the same teams (with a few exceptions from time to time) cause the other teams just don't have the same amount of money..

Miniscule compared to American sports.

Not really. They earn relatively the same.

Relatively? How does that work in this context?

Top footballers earn relatively the same as other sporting players in America.

How can you 'relatively' earn the same as someone else? I don't get what you mean :P

He said that European footballers earn nothing compared to American sport players, yet some footballers earn in the excess of £11,000,000 when top American athletes earn around £16,000,000. So the wages aren't that different. Don't know if that answered your question :D

Ronaldo $18,000,000 a year.
Bryant $24,000,000 a year.
Eli Manning $20,000,000 a year.
Alex Rodriguez $27,000,000 a year.

e. It was more to do with money in American sports as opposed to individual players :)

Best players in sport there earn double what the best one in europe does :p And if NHL didnt have capped pay there would be sick.

Really?

Just look at MLB wages. The very top of football, Messi & Ronaldo earn a shed load, but after that there is a difference. In MLB and even the NBA there are a lot of players on over $20,000,000 a year.

Granted they earn more, but I never opposed that. The statement in which you said that the money is miniscule compared to American sports is ridiculous.
Parent

The money involved in American sports is a lot more than Europe. You took the debate to individuals and were proven wrong.

You misunderstood my original statement anyway.

As in...

If you are classing sports as a collective then yes. America is a much larger country and has a larger variety of "national" sports. It's stupid to assimilate football with a whole countries sporting wage structure, it's like comparing your local shop to walmart.

No it's not? The whole of Europe compared to America, not just the UK.

QuoteWell Torres has been playing kind of shitty this season with ..what? - 9 goals throughout the entire season?...Compare him to Berbatov who's the lead scorer in the league with 19

torres inside chelsea ?!

biggz 1 Feb 2011, 11:28
with all the defensive issues that Chelsea still have... and they spend 80/90 mil on two strikers.... epic lols, new Tottenham!


At least Liverpool got a backup goal keeper in Suarez, can have an extra outfield player on the bench :>

fanatic 1 Feb 2011, 11:29
they didnt buy 2 strikers:P they bought him + david luiz from benfica - defender :d

Given his shape this season, the amount of money involved is absolutely ridiculous. He's not worth half of that right now. I hope he'll keep sulking on the pitch without no real interest in what's going on around, perhaps get injured once or twice and just turn out to be a massive disappointment.
▼
huumeantti 1 Feb 2011, 12:02
see, it's not the point how much he's worth, i'm pretty sure liverpool know he's not worth that much, but if you can get that much money out of him, why not?
Parent

kot 1 Feb 2011, 13:32
That wasn't my point. I simply think that it takes some serious retardation to spend that much on Torres. Carroll is not worth 35m either, but Liverpool didn't have much choice if they wanted to find a quick replacement.

fucking crybaby like almost all the other south european footballists



hope he dies in carfire

Absolutely nuts to pay 41 mil. € for Carroll. That man played ONE good half season in the Premier League. Considering all the weak spots in Liverpools team they should have taken care of it gets even more ridiculous. Panic transfer deluxe.
