And he'll go home with £40,000 a week, I might have even expected him to get more.

Huh? I've read on a number of sites here, it's 80K per week.

I'd be amazed if it was as low as £40k per week and somewhat surprised if it was as high as £80k.

I would have expected it to be around £60-70k per week.

Dunno. Respected papers here say it's 80K, though I agree that does sound high, just as 40K sounds low. I figured he was already on such a contract.

Robbie Keane gets ~£60k per week and was brought back from Liverpool to be a key player in the squad, so I would expect Modric to be getting something similar to that.

It's certainly not impossible that he is getting £80k per week, especially if Modric threatened to go to Man Utd if Spurs didn't come up with the cash.

I'm talking about the 50% tax rate, of course...

 

[Gabriel]

Benitez will have 15m..

 

[Enron]

Plus whatever he gets from sales.

Benayoun to Chelski. Why?

 

[Enron]

I don't know. I love Yossi.

 

[The Curr]

I think he's pretty good but Joe Cole >> him.

 

[Enron]

Perhaps we're selling them Benny to pay Joe's wages?

It makes sense from a financial stand point, Benny is almost 30 and if we don't want to sell Torres or Gerrard, the next best thing is Mascherano or Benny.

 

[Red]

I think he's pretty good but Joe Cole >> him.

Yeah, but Cole probably gets paid at twice what Benayoun gets.

Chelsea probably just want someone cheaper than Cole, but with a similar style, to be a squad player.

 

[The Curr]

It's Chelsea. I wouldn't have thought they'd worry about a sum of money the size of the difference between Cole's wages and those of Benayoun.

In CCC news, Palace are close to liquidation. For some reason they think David Cameron will intervene personally to save the club.

Plus whatever he gets from sales.

That means Torres.

 

[Enron]

90 million might greatly improve the squad.

90 million might greatly improve the squad.

Indeed. However when David Villa goes for 35 million I expect Torres to go for about 50 considering his injuries.

I don't see the club letting him go for less than 60.

Personally I'd rather keep him. If he has a healthy season like his first at Pool he could single handedly bring us back to the top 4.

City and Tottenham both have better squads than Liverpool and will get stronger. Liverpool will not finish in the top 4 next season in my opinion. As good as Torres is he cannot alter the fact other teams around you are alot stronger.

 

[Enron]

That's debatable. The major thing separating us and them is depth. If Gerrard and Torres had an injury free season I doubt Liverpool would have finished less than 4th.
