Good read this.

The club is looking to further cut their wage bill. Knowing that Stevie is on $150,000 a week and Sterling wants the same amount makes it seem that much more ridiculous. Sterling isn't even half the player Stevie was in his prime and he wants equal pay with a living legend.

yeah, i posted the similar info in previous tered. That's why sterling is either stupid or super stupid to think that he is an achiever in LFC that demand that insane amount of money.

PSG on the way to first treble in france Ligue 1 history. So i believe his price tag justified that

With the amount they've spent they should be. Credit to Lyon for leading billionaire clubs in PSG and Monaco. In 2013, PSG and Monaco spent $250 million. The rest of the Ligue 1 clubs spent only $40 million combined. Aside from foreign players, PSG and Monaco has also been snapping up young local French talent.

huh,
Lambert is reported to be 50K per week?
Toure at 75K per week?

A squad, backup, aging players are having such a wages, no wonder always "cannot afford".
So generous...

yup, it's like a Scottish league over there in france.

The mighty super defender of the century Dejan Lovren take home 75k per week.

If it is true, squad player that not intended to be used by manager, 75K + 50K + 75K = 200K wages.

How can Coutinho wages lower than Lovren and Toure?

Couth still young, he can achieve that salary range soon when it's more mature and develop more skills. It's said that LFC don't want to spoil the market buy handing big salary to young players. unlike ahem *cough*sterling*cough*

Toure came with zero transfer fee. Bosman ruling so generally speaking wages you are willing to pay will determine where he goes. So it's understandable to get him, you need to afford to pay above average wages.

No comment on Lambert or even Lovren. Unexplainable.

I can understand a player come with Bosman ruling who is mid 20's, whereby potential still can recoup transfer fee if selling the player later on,
save up transfer fee + potential transfer fee later = higher wages, ok, no argument.

But Toure is a 33 yo player approaching retirement age already.
Somemore, everyone knew Toure mostly as a backup player only, paying 75K for a backup player who is 33?

No way Coutinho newer contract less than Toure, no matter how the excuse is.

think prolly Toure was already at very high wage in Man City, he is experience enough to play for big club.. i guess most player would reluctant to wage cut to join a club, they would rather sit on bench with 200k a week

Lambert yea 50k kinda over paid also prolly because he was regular starter in Soton..

if all works out well we could save about 770k wage, with this wage we could offer good contract. With Sterling and Hendo all looking for new offer in the summer.. and hopefully we could get some star players that makes everyone happy

If Lovren, Toure is on 70/75K, now I can understand why Sterling and Hendo reluctantly to sign a new contract.

Wages structure need to get it right, cannot be squad aging player also get the same wages with first team young promising player that actually contributing to the team.

Pretty much that, it wouldn't surprise me if toure took a pay cut to be at Liverpool (or Liverpool is salary offer is higher (iest) that the other club(s) post man city salary)

He is needed for the transition (senoir amongst the youthful players). While we can boost of one of the youngest average age squad amongst the clubs, we certainly cannot completely do away with seniors. In game experience, holding pressure has been our weakest department in big games. And it's quite evident.

Rodgers may buy himself some time if he somehow manages to win the FA cup inspite of missing on top 4.Failure on both fronts will definitely see him get the boot..

Chelsea grind out yet another routine win against another top team. Boring? Chelsea fans wouldnt care less.

Shoutout to Rafa's Napoli for beating wolfsburg 4-1 and happy belated birthday to the ex gaffer

Fancy football is fun to watch but winning the match gives more satisfaction. Avramovich sacked mourinho before cos he wanted a beautiful and attractive football. In the end he realizes winning is more fun to watch. No matter how you do it...
My birthday is on the same date as rafa.. i used to gloat about it.. lol
