Absolutely crazy...in fact it makes me feel quite sick

Well done Darren Bent and his agent and the Charlton Board for maximising the opportunity though.

I cant quite see a loan signing happening there!!

As an aside I had 2 guys putting in a new central heating system last week. Ordinary guys worked their b*ll*x off and bet they dont earn a fraction of that. I would rather stay in the Champs than struggle to compete in a league paying those sort of wages.

WSS

£94,000 a week?

F8ck off

razil

more like 40k if I recall, Westham were going to pay him more 50-60k i think but he turned them down for europe

Salad

He took less than West Ham were offering, which was supposed to be about £75k per week, I think Razil is right and £40k per week was the figure mentioned.

buckshee

I think you'll find that signing on fee's and loyalty bonuses are included in that

Addickted

Surprised Amdy Faye's not in the top 50 :-)

matt896

still 40k for sitting on ur ass is a gd deal. wish i could do that.

Chris_from_Sidcup

A number of things i think are wrong there.
1. Bent is on nowhere near that.
2. where Is Messi? He surely earns more than 66k a week.
3. Beckham earns about 250k a week doesn't he?
4. Although i've no doubt he's the top earner at Milan, surely Kaka can't earn more than double the next earner as there's no other Milan player there. Pirlo, Seedorf, Nesta, Inzaghi??

"39 Harry Kewell Liverpool FC £76,500 £3,978,000"

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!!

This list was mentioned in a Daily Mail article last week.

Believe it or not, Spurs have quite a strict wage structure in place (which is nowhere near these figures) and they aren't breaking it for Darren Bent.

EDIT - It was the Mail not the Guardian.
