How much do you think he's earning at Chelsea?eaststandmike said:If I was Ben Amos I would be knocking on the gaffers door. Loyal servant to the club who has bided his time to get where he is and then Maatsen bowls in on loan and lets face does fuck all and is earning more than double.
Bet its a LOT more than £8k1 -
That's the difference between playing for a Premier League academy and a L1 team though. The amount listed might be Maatsen's Chelsea salary, I doubt we're paying all of it, especially given the fact the cap was in place when the deal was agreed. Amos was apparently on £16,000 a week at Bolton, he knows a thing or two abut being on more money and he came to us for less to rebuild his career. I think he's probably quite content at the moment.

If I was Amos I'd keep my head down at the moment given how many goals he's shipping in currently.eaststandmike said:If I was Ben Amos I would be knocking on the gaffers door.

Maatsen was always gonna be a top earner given where he's on loan from, suspect half the Chelsea Youth team get more than our top earners1 -
I think that is his Chelsea Salary, I do not believe the sums shown have been adjusted for the salary % we are paying.ForeverAddickted said:

Not really the point though is it, if I were Amos and some of the other players on the list I would be pissed off. Not the fault of the players, it is football in general.ForeverAddickted said:

To put it in context imagine working for a company for a number of years and then they introduced a new team member who is doing the same job as you (playing in the first team in this case) and you find out he is earning more than double what you earn.0 -
The goals we are shipping are not down to keeper errors, it is the crap defence in front of him and piss poor management decisions.Elthamaddick said:

I think you are right, but that is football, and that is probably why many footballers are such disloyal money grabbers.eaststandmike said:

If you take it in the context you’ve mentioned, then Maatsen would be a consultant coming on for a limited time to help the company. Those type of people usually get paid large amounts. From my experience, more than those working full time in the company.eaststandmike said:

I see what you're saying, but how much is YOUR employer paying him towards that total, I can't imagine we're paying more than 35%-50%

Unfortunately its how Chelsea and Man City have two of the strongest Academies in the world now because they offer wages that most teams cant / wont offer kids.eaststandmike said:

As Dazzler says; Amos coming from Man Utd will be fully aware of how it works on the grand scheme of things and am sure those who havent been at a big club academy wont be ignorant of it either.
Like you say though it doesnt make it right and is probably one of the fundamental issues within the Sport - How many kids have been happy just going out on loan from Chelsea etc. every year because they know they're getting a tidy wage from their parent club, rather than cutting ties and trying to get some stability and so create something for themselves.

I quite agree, but having had a huge amount of experience dealing with outside consultants my interpretation is they are used for their expertise and the fact nobody in the company can do the work they do. So in other words they offer a lot.stoneroses19 said:

Its been well documented on here the "worldys" we are conceding are down to defenders backing off and inviting attackers to have a go. Yes, the odd one is going to be unstoppable, but in general it is poor defending.Elthamaddick said:

Not a good time to be asking for a pay rise.1 -
How many of these kids at Chelsea and City make it all the way to the first team? Foden, Mount, James, Gilmour off the top of my head.ForeverAddickted said:

How many will have careers where they'll be continually on loan and never play for the parent club?
Piazon recently for Chelsea, been there 10 years never played in the first team and had numerous loans.2 -
Piazon is a great example of what I meant in my third paragraph - Got to wonder if he would have done better had he left sooner and settled for a few years at one club as he'd have had more stability.iaitch said:

If defenders back off, open the door and invite the opposition to shoot what do you expect. He cannot keep them all out.blackpool72 said:

Been mentioned many times on here that Watson was one of our bigger earners.
Is he worth £5,500 a week, with a salary cap? No chance.2 -
Chelsea actually have Mount, James, Gilmour, Hudson-Odoi and Abraham. Plus Tomori who is on loan at Milaniaitch said:

City have Foden, Garcia, Doyle, Palmer and Delap who have all made first team appearances. The last three named are only 18/19
As evidenced by how many of their players are out on loan they do have one hell of a big pool to pick from. In Chelsea's case though they actually went a decade with only John Terry coming through their academy - and still had the largest number of kids on loan in Europe!0 -
Blimey, no wonder so many players go bankrupt and/or get divorced after they stop playing.
If the contracts for some of those guys earning £250k aren't renewed at the end of the season, it must be "difficult" to go from that sort of money to nothing overnight.
Anyone know if footballers can still draw on their pension at 35 like they used to be able to? Or are they not allowed to draw on it until they are 60 like the rest of the population?

So at 35, you might be earning £250k a year. Contract ends and you're on nothing. Hopefully, the more sensible ones will have put shed loads away for retirement but it's still a long time from 35 to 55 before they can draw a pension.0 -
Quick google search says Maatsen earns £10k per week at Chelsea. Obviously no idea if that’s factually correct. If it is true, I can’t imagine we’d have agreed to pay £8k of his £10k wage.Cafc43v3r said:
