lol @ complaining about high wages. if you've ever watched football, or bought merchandise or anything else along those lines, you've helped support these stupid wages. the wages have only got so high because of the large amount of money that has been brought into the game through supporters, sponsors and owners. it's only common sense that everything would rise with the increased revenue. at least a lot of the profits are going to the players themselves, rather than them earning £40k a year and the rest being soaked up by the fatcat executives.
personally, i couldn't care how much they earn. their income doesn't effect anything in my life, so realistically, why would any one care; unless of course you are super jealous that you are not good enough at a sport to be in their position.

I really don't care about a footballers wages, i do believe that some are overpaid, but hey, that's what agents get paid to do and they do it well - probably helps that being a Rangers fan i watch guys who are paid realistic wages and not Premiership level wages.
As for cheating on their wives, i think the hotter the chick you've cheated on the higher wages you get right? Cos i mean Ashley Cole cheated on Cheryl Cole and he gets paid a fortune If it was based on the chick you banged in your wifes place Rooney would be on £25 and a free bottle of Coke a week right enough, fuck knows what Ryan Giggs would be on

Shoot this guy.
Football players aren't (mostly) allowed to go have drinks, party, stay in clubs and stuff. They also have training each day and the good ones begin playing since they're kids. I doubt you began studying, say science, since you were a kid.
Yeah, most are arogant pricks, but on the field that doesn't matter: they do their best and are rewarded for it.
I think it's the other way around, the only birds Rooney could pull would be 80yo! Mind you the master of the understatement would be Peter Crouch "what would you be if you weren't a footballer? A virgin!"

i like aston villa!
they are mostly the costs to buy the players on paper not their actual worth of what we think.
u need like a billion euros if u want to buy Ronaldo from Real madrid and its the buy out clause of paper. not what he is worth
:billion euroes yes! its even on wikipedia lol
Most of those prices are horribly overinflated, or not even in fair balance. Thankfully you can still get good bargains out there if you scout around.
Ex-Mod. Technically retired, they just won't let me quit.
You say most are overpriced, but look how much Man City have just paid for Sergio Aguero (Yes, I know it's Man City, but really, the kid is 21? 22?) - Yet to prove himself in the Premier League as well. I sense another Balotelli.
