Eh...is he on a pay to play contract or something? Is that how we are matching the big contracts he could get elsewhere.

I wonder if he gets a bonus for being late for training?

I'm sure the way to look at it is that if we lose, his appearance bonus (they all appear to have one) is halved.

Rather than looking at it as his being rewarded for losing ...

Not even that...

He has a £4k appearance bonus.
He has a £4k win bonus.

I don't understand the spin on the article at all.

I didn't think footballers understood money in increments of less than 10k.

For years Tottenham have structured our pay with appearance money bolstering a basic wage, I heard David Pleat explaining it all those years ago, it encourages players to retain and regain their form and work hard in training.
I call bullshit!

he should get a 1k per save bonus like goal bonuses

He would probably ask to sit on the bench for games like Swansea if that were the case.

Think he might have a clean sheet bonus. Or a set amount of money which will trigger once he reach a given number of clean sheets.

Usually landmark options are better for regular players.

Anyway juz a report about something meaningless... We gotta give bonuses to keep our wage structure, not surprising he give him appearance and win bonus. Heck even Ade got quite a bit of cash juz for coming off the bench for a cameo.
