here’s wikipedia: Player wages There is no team or individual salary cap in the Premier League. As a result of the increasingly lucrative television deals, player wages rose sharply following the formation of the Premier League when the average player wage was £75,000 per year.[175] In the 2018–19 season the average annual salary stood at £2.99 million. The total salary bill for the 20 Premier League clubs in the 2018–19 was £1.62bn, this compares to £1.05bn in La Liga, £0.83bn in Serie A, £0.72bn in Bundesliga, and £0.54bn in Ligue 1. The club with the highest average wages is Manchester United at £6.5m. This is smaller than the club with the highest wage bill in Spain (Barcelona £10.5m), and Italy (Juventus £6.7m), but higher than in Germany (Bayern Munich £6.4m), and France (Paris St Germain 6.1m). Th ratio of the wages of the highest paid team to lowest paid in the Premier League is 6.82 to 1. This is much lower than in La Liga (19.1 to 1), Serie A (16 to 1), Bundesliga (20.5 to 1), and Ligue 1 (26.6 to 1). Because of the lower differential between team wage bills in the Premier League, it is often regarded as being more competitive than other top European leagues.[176] — so your average player counting even the benchers at cardiff is 3 million pounds. is bat-macumba worth 2.5 your AVERAGE league player. oh i should stop speculating and go read what actually happened — chelsea refused him to spurs and he went to crystal palace! does it burn, you guys? or is it more like “good riddance”? sour grapes or legit? who did you get in the end? |
I don't regret him going to Palace. The club doesn't need another over-payed striker when the priority has been strengthening n defence (we've needed a defensive midfielder for bloody years). So I'm pissed that the window has been wasted trying to sort out the Arnie situation when there are other areas that desperately need sorting out (and Batshuayi was just another distraction from that) but even if we were desperate for a striker, his wages were just silly given his poor record in the Prem. I'm surprised Palace have taken him, tbh.

oh i see. yes. zabaleta is great but not getting any younger. i see...
so you got nobody? shiiiiiiiiiiiiiittt... and artie now injured again? fuck... (i would have sold him immediately, like i said pages back) yeah whoever is in charge of hiring at west ham... i don't know... probably not a genius |
On reflection I wish he'd gone, too. He's an excellent player but we were in for Maxi Gomez and that fell through when he stayed. Our most important player now is Declan Rice and our most creative one is still Lanzini - even though he's out for the season. We're not in a relegation battle for a change so I see the next few months as just getting through this barren patch as best we can. Then hopefully Pellegrini gets the money to push forward next season, by which time Lanzini should be back, Arnie will probably be gone and some of the dead weight will have hopefully followed him.

i was gonna ask “lanzini?” and realized ive never seen him cuz heks been out all season.
o man rough times.saw the score v wolves earlier and felt bad for you. |
Blimey, this is a dream compared with previous seasons. Remember last year, the big protests against the owners? The whole new stadium debacle? Fans literally fighting with players on the pitch? The genuine fears that the club might go under? The whole "Big Sam" thing? Compared with that this looks like not that bad a season.
Anyway. enough of all that. Some big games at the weekend: West Ham v Liverpool will be a behind the sofa job for me but lots of big teams will be coming back from some pretty bad results last week so it could be a very interesting next few days for the likes of Man City and especially Chelsea/Sarri. |
oh yes hahaha. i had forgotten cuz i never witnessed it.
this weekend i’d like to see everton wolves but not sure what they’ll show cuz it’s the crowded timeslot lester man u should be good, man city arsenal might be a small massacre, west ham liverpool i will avert my eyes. there is something weird with the everton calendar. playing man city on date 28 ahead of date 26 wat. this league confuses me... |
The Everton v MC game was meant to happen in a couple of weeks time but cos MC have a cup game that weekend, they've brought it forward.
|
Just read this morning that Wilshire might be out for the rest of the season because of an ankle problem. I'd actually forgotten he was even at West Ham!
|
I'd pretty much forgotten about him too. Sooner his contract runs out the better.
|
dortmund v frankfurt about to start

Nah, they showed the Shalke game. Well as predicted Everton got beat and at my predicted 3-1. However, the best news is a cat turned up! Brilliant commentary on the game below Tomcat Davies |
oh shit i missed the wolfitos!
sorry about your defeat. but did you win a bet? “the video is not available in your location” damn... |

No didn't did I. After my brief dabble which only ended with me losing money I stopped betting. |
