Do Bosmans get bigger wages?

[toffeestillidie]

Really basic question. I haven't heard about it too often, but if a player leaves his club on a free, is he more likely to be offered a signing bonus or higher wages? In theory this would make sense, since a club would be willing to risk a fixed amount on a player, and without having to pay a transfer fee they would be willing to make up the difference elsewhere.

But I was curious if it works out that way in practice. For instance, is Barry on bigger wages than the rest of the squad because of this?

Yes. If they are any good.

Bloody Bosmans, coming over here and taking all of our footballers jobs...

Bosman transfers are quite often an awful idea for a few reasons, including this.

They usually get a bigger signing on bonus

Barry's on 140k a week cos he's worth it, mate. Not cos he's a bosman.

The economics suggest this is true; Bosmans should be able to create savings for the signing club and transfer some of those savings into their salary.

Well, i get why in some areas, but lets use Lennon as an example. Lets say Spurs want 6mil for him. Couldnt we just not spend that 6 mil on him and give a bosman a big signing bonus for, i dont know, 2-3mil and you've saved 3mil?

 

[bizzaro]

Yes. @chicoazul to Celtic on a Bosman.

Mega money involved.

Not sure, Besic's isn't that high as far as I know. Dunno about Dzeko etc.

I loved Bosman in Alias the Jester and his weird noises.
