This 85k a week Barton is on

[W12_Ranger]

Or is it 75 or 80k.... Give me strength

Seriously are we the only ones who know he isn't actually on that and that his signing on fee made up a large chunk off his supposed salary

2.5M signing on fee + 40k a week

[brightonr]

Sounds better though, doesn't it?

[mat72]

Nah, at one point yesterday on talkshite it was 100 grand a week..

[LoftusRoadLad]

prob his whole contract including signing on fee divided up into weeks equals 70-80 grand.

[winalotto]

Someone on here was trying to say that Vine was on 35k per week!!!!
Really don't know where they pluck these figures out from, don't listen to footballers or mates or family's of the player, because they will spout cobblers!!

Everytime he hits the headlines it gets upped by 5k. Some people will believe anything.

This 80k is probably what Barton could earn in a week.

Based on:

Basic salary
2x Appearance bonus
Goal bonus for scoring x goals in 2 games
Assist Bonus for making x assists in 2 games
2 x Win Bonus
And all the ****ing planets lining up

Exactly. Tis always the way, the media state the very maximum a player could possibley earn (which will probably never actually be earnt in a week) and then people just choose to ignore the wording, focus on the figure stated and spout off how the player in question picks that up every week.

You know it. These ****ers earn some serious dough. Strange how, in football terms, if you hear a player in the PL signs a new deal on, say, 15k a week, we think its peanuts. Putting that into a realworld prespective; a 60k gross monthly pay cheque is more than any of us could ever wish for. Id be nursing a constant semi with such an income.
