Cristiano Ronaldo might be the favourite to be crowned World Player of the Year but, according to new figures published on an online blog, he is currently down in eighth place on a list of the highest paid footballers.

The table, posted on Iain Dale's Diary as a photocopied list, is topped by AC Milan's Kaka on £143,438 per week, or just under £7.5m a year, while Ronaldo's weekly wage is said to be just over £20,000 less on £122,400. Last night, Ronaldo scored his 36th goal in Manchester United's 2-0 win against Roma of what has been a remarkable season.​

If United reach the Champions league final and he scores in each of the club's remaining matches he stands to equal Denis Law's Manchester United record of 46 goals in a season which was set in 1964.​

Ronaldo, though, is still behind the likes Ronaldinho, Frank Lampard, John Terry, Fernando Torres, Michael Ballack and also Andriy Shevchenko in the list.​

Indeed, there are seven Premier League and four Chelsea players in a top ten that is completed by Thierry Henry and Steven Gerrard. Shevchenko has not started a match for Chelsea since Boxing Day and has scored eight goals in 30 Premier League starts since his £30m move from AC Milan almost two years.​

Surprising names in the league-table of footballers' wages include Portsmouth's Sol Campbell, who is placed 15th and is said to earn more than £105,000 a week, Tottenham's Darren Bent whose salary is put at £94,669 and Liverpool's Harry Kewell in 39th place on an estimated £76,500.​

Worringly for David Beckham, who celebrated his 100th England cap last week, according to the list he earns a mere £71,000 per week with new club LA Galaxy, behind Joe Cole who played on the opposite flank in the Stade de France.​

Beckham's salary puts him at only 44th in the table, although his projected earnings over five years in Major League Soccer could actually rise to £128 million, or over £25 million pounds a year, but his weekly income has still decreased from the reported £120,000 he was earning at the Bernabeu for Real Madrid.​

[Geez]

This was submitted as front page "news" :roll:

However, as there is no way anyone could have got such detailed info (especially yesterday), I've moved it here for you lot to pick over :twisted:

Darren Bent 19th?

:rofl:

We've been through this in hundreds of threads in general footie and Spurs chat by now :roll:

It's old information, and regarding Bent it is definitely not true unless his sign-on fee is included (and even then it's pretty unlikely) as we all know he joined us instead of West Ham knowing that his basic wage at Spurs would be lower. I'd guess he's on about half of that.

And still, isn't it weird that Bent's 4-year contract is worth totally same money what we paid for him.


As it was on finnish media "Darren Bent joined Tottenham from Charlton for 4-year contract worth £16.5 million pounds"

50th time we've seen this, still bullshit.
