Race to Fourth, Wage Comparison?

[WhiteHart4Ever]

67k to mata and 168k to Hazard is an amazing difference for similar players of similar quality - Mata being the better of the two, though.. And Rosicky and Arshavin are having nice, lazy days, huh?

Yeah I guess. I was just summarising the figures from the OP to be honest.

Based on those figures, our spend per player is 4.14m per year, and the gooners spend 4.39m per year, and whilst 250k is a shit of a lot of money to me and you, it's not the gulf that some people might think.

They also have players out on loan, and normally the receiving club will pay a lot of the wages in that scenario. We have Bentley in our list but I think they have Denilson to cancel him out, then Bendtner and Frimpong too. So despite the headline figures they are (unfortunately) a pretty well run club.

I would imagine that a first XI wage comparison would show a bigger gap between us though.

But it's not averaged out among the whole squad, or even by the list above, that's the point. Arsenal have a massive squad (I recently saw the list on a back of a programme compared to Stoke's and it was practically double). The other players that make up the squad will have negligible salarys compared to those listed. Or am I missing the point?

All figures are not 100% accurate but Arsenal's come from a blog on the back of the shareholders meeting

Have you got some links for all that lot?

Quite surprised that Walcott/Suarez are only on 100k/wk. Seems low.

 

[ultimateloner]

Verts salary 40k also seems low for his calibre and age

Im guessing Ivanovic is on more than 28.5k, good to see the Goons have plenty of crap on their books they can't shift

Ivanavic must be on more than that?! If not I am amazed he is still there
