Player Valuation: £50m
Why are people in such a rush to write players off with such venom? It's like a drug to some people. Very strange behaviour.
He's 32, came on a free transfer, and is on around £50k pw by all accounts. People are acting like we've blown our entire transfer budget on him.
But hey, they can smell blood and they want their kill. Absolute vile animals you arare.
I would anticipate he is on much higher than 50k a week. More likely closer to 100k. Especially if you consider no transfer fee so usually that leads to higher wages eg Bernard.
He was on 70k at newcastle, and the rumours are he went to China for between 150k to 250k a week there. He isn't taking 100k a week pay cut from doing nothing over there to come here as a back up, 3rd choice striker.
But as a professional athlete, even if he isn't match sharp, he should be able to get through a match and actually show some effort because as a professional athlete you should be keeping yourself in good shape. So some of the frustration at him isn't really misplaced.
