Just working from home today 'cos of the snow, and on Sky Sports News they are discussing transfer fees, and each individual player's career transfer fees, makes interesting reading.

Anelka 86.8m
Veron 77.2m
Crespo 68.7m
Robbie Keane 68m
Vieri 62.8m
Ronaldo 59.85m
Robinho 49m
Zidane 48.6m
Rio Ferdinand £48m

I believe that is the fee paid for a player when they change teams or at that is what I have understood it to be...
But I could be wrong... :oops:

yeah salary is on top of these ludicrous figures - especially given the current economic climate :tumbleweed:
 
Ah, like some of those buyouts/freeagent thingies.

Looks like soccer players are as over paid as baseball players. :roll:

Transfer fees are paid from one club to another for the player, like buying a used car but a bit more expensive :rofl:

Robbie Keane moved from Tottenham to Liverpool in August 2008 for £20m and then moved back to Tottenham in Jan 09 for £13m although this will rise to £19m apparently, depending on how many appearances he makes, plus a load of other moves too earlier in his career. Their wages are on top of this.

It got me thinking about cars too. Take a Z4...

First owner buys it for £45k
Year later someone buys it for £30k
Year later someone buys it for £22k
Year later someon buys it for £18k

So in 3 years that car has a "career" fee of £115k. Where does all this money come from and go to, or is that the whole problem with the economy?

:tumbleweed: :rofl:
 
At least the players have some talent they get paid for (be it somewhat ludicrous)

I swear if I had my time again I would be a football manager or a large bank director, and be told "your crap at your job, here`s £5.000.000 to buy your contract out, bugger off", and then do it all again for someone else :thumbsup:
