it's not straight 30m. myb 20m something + this clause, that clause. u know what clause it were if u play FM. the total money Everton will get is 30m after the clause is fulfilled. rmmbr that everton wasnt the selling club, not desperate to get money+overpriced english players, so that's what MU have to paid. huhuhu...

There's so much money involved in the game now that the players themselves will want their slice of the cake. How much do matchday tickets cost now? 45-60 quids each at least. Multiply that with the number of fans who purchase them week in week out. Sponsorship, TV revenue, prize money, merchandising. These are just some of the factors that are pumping the wad of cash into football. Players are not dumb, they know that they are valuable to the team and they know very well that the club is capable of meeting their wage demands. Careers are short, and an injury could end it all. Its a sport with high risks and demands. Which is why I don't blame foreign investors (like the Yanks) who come in to purchase the club as a business entity. They know there's money to be made in the game and they want to milk it.

Wrong....it all depends on where the club is... if the club is based on London like Chelsea and Arsenal then it will cost around what you have said, but if is based on somewhere else like in the Northwest (Man Utd and Liverpool) the match ticket only cost around 30-40 quid

i wonder how and why is steven gerrard in that list?

Just like Spain?

Spain won Euro Cup before...but England haven't won any yet...
although the reverse is England won World Cup before but Spain hasn't

maybe because he didnt performed well in england shirt (but better than lampard) and often goes missing in 2 man midfield against top oppositions

and i wonder why beckie on lists...=.=

it's 2+m. and everton does get a few million bucks overdue when rooney won the recent champions league cup with mu.
its part of the deal.

I think Holland is the most over-rated team.
Look at the talented players they have !
And yet they can't seem shine to when it comes to International competitions =.=
Wasted really !

u meant overrated?

Haha yes I meant over-rated.
Will edit it straightaway.

this thread is about most overrated english player dude. but if you're talking about most overrated footballing nation, england itself is one! they can't even qualify for euro 2008 with th elikes of rooney, gerrard, terry, lampard, owen,
beckham and co around.

I know this thread is about Eng players being over-rated but it doesn't hurt to change topic once in awhile.
Yeah Eng was a real flop but look at the bright side, at least they have won the World Cup once.
But the Dutch ? I dunno man .....

you just hate Netherlands dont you?

dun think he hates the dutch man...i kinda agree with him...

nuuuuuuuuuu, Netherlands FTW! lol I mean van der Vaart FTW

I voted for Owen!

well, i am not supporting the dutch, even though i grow up drinking 'dutch lady'
imo, they are just being unlucky at losing to the great germany side twice in world cup 74 and 78(england doesn't even qualify back then). but they did won the european cup in 1988 with the famed trio of gullit, van basten and rijkaard. semi finalist in the last 2 edition of the same competition.
spain is way more overrated than the netherlands. their la liga is 3rd behind the bpl and the scudetto in term of popularity. yet their only notable achievement was being and euro champion back in 64 and never goes beyond the quarter final in world cup. you do the math
this time the spanish and netherlands team look very promising though. then again, back then, their team sheet always look promising too
