tartandon Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Dear god!!! Man City have paid £49m for Raheem Sterling. That makes him something like 12th/13th most expensive player of all time. Also the most expensive English footballer ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamntg Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 They have to be "home grown" not necessarily English. That's what I thought. Suppose it puts a premium on domestic players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tartandon Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 49 million thankyou citeh, now watch us waste most of it on Benteke The 49m will equate to something like 32.5 guaranteed. So Sterling effectively pays for Benteke . Pedro plus one other would be better signings IMHO. Out of the 49m, QPR are due 20% (and ive seen 25% mentioned in a few places). Plus 5-10m will be in the form of add-ons (appearances, trophies etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely insane money for someone who hasn't really proved anything yet. Just shows how desperate City are for homegrown players, especially after Delph decided to stay at Villa.

wembley67lisbon Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 They do. Yep. That's why they wanted Delph and probably why he turned them down (fair play to him). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamntg Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Although the maximum squad size thing they have is something the SPFL should consider. Would maybe stop certain clubs stockpiling players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's absolutely mental for a 20 year old. The wages at Man CIty, Man U and Chelsea are crazy. I wonder how much Schweinsteiger will be getting at Man U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not divided into 2 categories, home grown in the sense of being developed in that country i.e. England, and then there is home grown in the sense they were developed by the club in question, or was that just in Champ Manager?! Fabregas qualifies as home grown in terms of England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgowmancity Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 wages of £200k/wk. That's absolutely mental for a 20 year old. The wages at Man CIty, Man U and Chelsea are crazy. I seriously doubt he'll be on anywhere near that as a basic at City. The wage structure was changed 2 years ago to make it far more bonus driven. He will probably be on £200k a week if City win the League, both Cups & the Champions League which clearly isn't going to happen. City probably need another young English player as well, so I wouldn't be surprised to see another ridiculous fee in the next couple of weeks - probably for Wilshere or Barkley.

euan2020 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 It bemuses me that folk assess entitlement to be paid based on someones age, rather than their ability. ability and experience go hand hand in hand though I'm the opposite - it bemues why 20/23 years olds at work, think they should get paid same wage as someone with 20 years experiience, without realising that people get paid, not for what they do, but what they can do, when crap hits the fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a QS. The best QS i've worked with is only 28. I'd add that in football, being young is even less of a factor in the ability of a player.

I think football is "different" from the majority of workplaces though and it's widely accepted that you have to "earn your stripes" before you can start demanding ludicrous remuneration.
