It was the Nuno celebration that made this. Never saw this kind of passion from a manager and it brought the whole club together from top to bottom.

Hard to imagine him having that kind of reaction these days, isn’t it?

Was at the Spurs game when he went down. The way he reacted, it didn’t look like we’d see him again this season, so pleased he’s back training. Although he only lasted about 10 minutes, he looked quick and was massive. I hope he comes back strong and gets a few games before the end of the season.

If accurate then a fair few will be looking for a rebalancing

 

[Tredman]

I really hope we are not paying that full 131k

Great gig for Ruddy isn't it!

Kilman and Neves should be looking at new deals asap.

Edit: Kilman got a new deal a couple of months ago, so if it is accurate, it's probably a couple of months out of date.

A perfect illustration of why Barcelona's finances are up shit creek without a paddle in sight!

I was surprised by how many of those young lads are on less than £10k a year! How does that work then? Obviously that’s not enough to live on, but I don’t think any of them have second jobs, so presumably the club subsidise them somehow?

From the big hitters, Kilman, Neto, Saiss & Sa are being underpaid. As EP has mentioned, I think Kilman got a new deal recently so he’ll probably be on about £40k a year now. You can see why the club want to bring in Hwang if he’s only on that as well.

Boly seems the obvious choice to bin off. Big wages and he never plays. Was surprised by Donk being on as much as he is, too.

£150-200 a week as a teenager, living in a club house or digs with a club paid landlady/family, most meals at Compton. All bills included including Sky, internet, phone. Can't drink, smoke etc.

£200 is plenty surely?

 

[The Bion]

Fack me you can see why Traore wants a raise given some of those.

Neves being lower paid than Donck (assuming this is accurate) is, uh, surprising. Good from the club's POV I'm sure but he could easily double his money elsewhere without much effort. Can see why Jorge's been agitating.

 

[Alan]

Is there any way to verify those numbers? Seems hard to believe that Moutinho would make nearly double what Ruben does.

Yeah, why not just lock them in a windowless room between training and matches, too?

Not sure I understand your reply.

I would have thought £200 per week 'pocket money' as such would be more than sufficient for a teenage youth team player when everything else they 'need' is paid for. I bet there's no one on this forum that has £200 a week to spend exactly how they want on nice leisure activities or clothes/entertainment.

I was hardly suggesting we take away their liberty. If £200, when all your expenses are paid, per week [as a teenager] is considered an insult in the US, I can assure you that it's not here. Perhaps Trump did a better job than we all thought from over here?

It's hardly a ten year contract either. Play a cup game and see it rise five fold, make your first PL start and triple that etc., etc.

The ones on £140 a week aren’t professionals. That’s what scholars are paid pretty much across the country (very similar to the one I work at).

Fair enough, didn't consider this bit.

Possibly but even then off that list he doesn't deserve to be near our top earner, he's nowhere near as good as Jonny is for example so his 100k a week demands make him look a bit daft.
