Sure he could cope Not being funny but he don’t live in council house! If someone earns so much a year in the majority of cases your bills match your income!

Well, our media team seems to need 24 hours to sort out an announcement so maybe Brighton are the same? Or a late bid from Leicester? In which case, £30m it is then!

The only way it's going to 'change his life' is by making a stinking rich man even richer. And he's 24. I don't disagree AG. However, everytime the issue of footballers wages is raised there are many that say we have to accept that is the way it is, that they earn these huge ( obscene) wages and we have to accept it. My life works for an orthopaedic surgeon, who is on good money by our standards, but I find it very hard to justify that ordinary premier league footballers earn in a week what he earns in a year. Good lord we have players earning in a month what the surgeon earns in a year. Given that we can't change any of this, the the minute we accept that these are the levels of income young players earn, the the harsh reality is that when you look at earning £1.6m over the next years by staying put, but can earn £6m+ over the same period it is hard to resist the temptation. Footballers ( and their agents!) live in a different financial world, and sadly we just have to accept that the more City wants, and is able , to compete for better players, we will find the finances being mentioned ever more "disgusting".

What, because he might get injured? There seems to be a conflict of opinions here - one is that Webster will go on to play for England (and Brighton seem to adhere to that one, seeing as they've just broken their transfer record to get him). The other is that he's injury prone and might well only last one more season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's imagine he got injured... 300k (net) probably wouldn't pay off a mortgage. Let's assume that he has 3 years left on his contract, a net total of 900k? Absolutely no way would you be made for life with that income. Not without careful investment and a job. Retire at 60, maybe but far from 'made'.

So you can't really compare the two industries. By the way, I agree that loss making football clubs are bonkers paying what they do, and that a lot of NHS staff are underpaid.

I'm not quite sure why you are singling Webster out about the issue of footballers wages. Why not pick those out that earn like 600k a week? Unfortunately, you and I are the reason for footballers being paid so much. Unlike most modern footballers Webster is really down to earth and a nice guy and imo I'll be delighted for him that he will be set up for life financially.

Yeah I know. In a way, I don't blame Webster. It's just that the greed (and it is greed) of modern footballers/agents goes against my beliefs. I recall a story where a couple of senior Man United pros, for a laugh, told a young and impressionable Ryan Giggs to go into Alex Ferguson and ask for a pay rise (or it may have been an expensive car, I forget). As you'd expect, Fergie told him in no uncertain terms to get the **** out of his office, as the two senior players fell about laughing. Being taught some humility certainly did Giggs no harm in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
