I am the worlds worst at moaning about the ridiculous wages players earn.
And I hate the fact that we are held to ransom by the likes of Sky etc to watch our teams play.
Someone pointed out on here about Arsenals policy of paying for a player the price he is worth. Yeah I go with that 100% all day long.
The trouble is the bar has been set so high now nobody knows what's what anymore.
How can you value a player when you have teams paying 15 million plus for the most mediocre players going.
If you were going to pay what you thought a player was worth then players like Ramsey in the premier league isn't worth a toss along with Wiltshire who's probably worth max 5 million (that's being generous ) and Ozil! well lately how much would you pay for him? They value him at £42.5 million!
Who ever they are must be having a laugh I think. 👎.

I often wonder why people get so uptight about what footballers earn. Professional sport across the globe makes multi millionaires out of F1drivers, Golfers, Boxers, Tennis players, Baseball, American Football and many more, even darts and bloody snooker!
People love sport, sport makes money and watching it makes people happy, I don't honestly care what they earn and like most would love to be doing exactly the same.
Yes it would be great if watching it was free but so it would be great if I didn't pay tax, car insurance or anything else.
Isn't it supply and demand and a huge part of the worlds population love sport.

I couldn't care less what transfer fees or wages are paid, as it is simply the marketplace and there isn't a thing I can do about it. I am pleased that Sky and BT allow me to lots of live football at acceptable prices.

You're right stoner it's just a load of socialist nonsense.
