Some mental figures there...

 

Lukaku's one of the lowest paid but in my opinion the best player on the list.

 

Aye and only paid £5k more than Defoe.

Fabregas man

 

Carroll: £80k a week for a dodgy heel!!!

 

Obscene imo.

 

See when he's fit he's worth that IMO, he's an absolute handful.

Imagine him and Defoe playing together man, lethal.

 

Quick count up £2.4m a week.

£10m a month

£120m a year

By my ready reckoning that's 4,000 nurses on £30k a year.

Yeh. Obscene!

 

Yep. For maybe 8 to 10 games a season though Giacc.

Don't get me wrong. I like Carroll. He reminds me of how good old fashioned centre forwards used to be.

But he's more delicate than Rodders.

 

Crazy for a second choice player, I'd get rid if I were them.

Burnley and Hull have decent sides for their wage bills.

 

Fraser Forster £90k

Where's these figures from?

 

From the Times mate. Just something someone shared on Twitter, thought it'd make for a decent enough thread.

Few anomolies but I'd guess most are pretty much there or thereabouts.

Forster as you say seems high, though he is an England International. Same for James Morrison (65k) that's incredible if true.

 

Mahrez/Vardy's can't be right surely?!

 

Don't see why not. Them two and Kante were probably the 3 main stars in Leicester winning the league. There was plenty of interest in both in the summer and both got new contracts. Bet that's about right.

 

Estimates I would imagine. I am sure I read Pogba's our top earner on about £280k

 

More than likely, but as I said I reckon they won't be too far off. I saw something about Pogba on £290k, mental.

Just makes the Chinese league look even more ridiculous.

 

Must be serious regret by Leicester at this point...if they go down they might struggle to get them off the wage bill!

 

Mahrez will get a move no bother I reckon, he's still a really good player.

I think they'd struggle to shift Vardy on those wages. He looks every bit the Fleetwood player this season. Arsenal must be pleased they dodged that bullet when he turned them down

 

I think Vardy's been ok really it's just that he isn't getting the same service. Partly his fault as well as defences know how to handle him but in the right side I think he could still be a weapon in this league.

 

He's only scored 5 goals in the league so far. He's no where near the same as last year.

Leicester are struggling as a whole so no surprises really.

He's ridiculously one dimensional, as you say, they've sussed him out and he's got **** all apart from pace to run in behind. He'll probably still be in the next England squad, mind you.

 

Yeah he's only got one trick but it's quite a useful one and he's a good finisher. I think his lack of goals is more to do with Leicester's and thus Ranieri's lack of a plan B, the whole team is ****e now it's not like he's getting chances and wasting them they just can't get him the ball.

He's nowhere near Lukaku who gets paid less but I reckon in the right side with good service he'd be prem standard.
