Zal ie nooit aan komen ook. De absolute top is onhaalbaar voor de meeste. De vraag is over Christian Eriksen ooit bij Barcelona gaat voetballen. Als ik hem zie denk ik van wel, maar er komt nog wel meer bij kijken. Hij moet zich verder ontwikkelen.

That brazialian who moved china this week got 200 000e/per week salary :)

You have to be good in football if you want to get something, doctors etc get same wage no matter what they do. Celebrities lose their privacy so I think money is good reward for it?
▼
huumeantti 9 Jul 2011, 13:56
Plus footballers have a lot less working years than doctors or somebody with a normal job, so it makes sense to give them more money so that they can survive the rest of their lives without having to struggle for money.

Fizmo 9 Jul 2011, 15:01
If the clubs think they are worth it, why not?

Look at Christiano Ronaldo, he cost 90 (?) million euro for Real Madrid and within these 2 years they earned that money back already through sales of shirts, increased sponsorship, higher TV -contracts, better results in CL/La liga, can charge higher ticket prices, more exposure, etc...

Most money is mostly through individual sponsor contracts though. Real Madrid probably pays C. Ronaldo 10m but in total he earns 30m.

Yes it's obscene but that's how it works I guess. Being the best in a sport that is followed by hundreds of millions all over the globe is worth a lot for sponsors.

Dreamweaver 9 Jul 2011, 15:05
1.
It's not only wages. For playing in Barcelona Messi earns around 11m euro per year. The rest comes from sponsors etc. and it is a bonus (a big one) for his superiority in football. Analogically with the rest of the players on your list, just the numbers are smaller.

2.
Consider this: to become a top player you need to:
- have talent.
- train since you're a little kid. train fucking hard. people just don't realise that it's devoting everything for the sport. if you stop working, have some life problem, it is instantly visible on the pitch.
- have bones strong enough not to end up being unable to play football anymore in the age of 16.
- have a luck with correct career path, clubs on your way etc.
- dump your dreams about higher education. if something happens to you that you cant play football anymore, you are left without any skills.
and surely some more.

3. Still, I agree this all is fucking overpriced, but I guess it's none of their fault, it's nowaday's world. No idea how can you be angry on players that they earn so much. Be angry on the people who pay them that much. And then you realise you have to be angry on yourself, who watch football.

If Nike can increase their sales by hundreds of millions of euro a year by sponsoring top players like Messi or Ronaldo, you could ask, why not? Their brand will be worth more when your brand is associated with the very best players. Young kids want to be Messi or Ronaldo, the best players, not Bojan Krkic allthoug he's famous aswell thats why wages for the best are so inflated. Turnover (sales of football clothes) will increase more when you sponsor Messi or Ronaldo then let's say Bojan Krkic.

The same as every other profession.

JOSHUA 9 Jul 2011, 18:37
Agree, but this is just getting out of control. They should give them that much money only when they have it. And they don't really have it:D Look at barca and real.

Skydeh 9 Jul 2011, 18:53
It's gotten more out of control thanks to the likes of TV companies, and in the UK, Sky TV. Well from 2012 in the English Championship, league 1 and league 2, clubs can only pay a certain % of what they receive in revenue from sponsors, gate receipts etc for wages. Hopefully they implement this further across higher leagues.
