Some eye openers there.

 

[Esteve]

Doesn't Leo have to be our highest paid player? I thought he signed a new contract which has him earning more than Zlatan? Or is this wages + other income?

 

[Beast]

Iniesta needs a new contract and Benzema need a 50% reduction

but as Steve mentioned i doubt it as Leo is the highest paid player in Barca ATM

 

[blueduck]

Torres needs a pay rise.

 

[The Joker]

Iniesta in 38 is a surprise for me

 

[Juan03]

Iniesta should be in top 10

 

[beef-supreme]

The lower the better, doesn't matter how low he is in the salary list, as long as he's happy and motivated at Barca.

 

[AnfieldEd]

Torres needs a pay rise.

I am sure your owners would offer quintuple his salary, were he showing the slightest inclination of wanting a future at the man city

 

[Gnegneri]

6 Emmanuel Adebayor (Manchester City, £7.4million)


Soooooooo ridiculous.

 

[Barcaman]

The lower the better, doesn't matter how low he is in the salary list, as long as he's happy and motivated at Barca.

Well said. I'm not too happy with Barca having most players in top 50 earners.

 

[House of Flies]

kolo toure gets paid more than rooney, drogba, valdes, casillas, puyol etc...

LOL

 

[Plip]

Who the hell is Charles Puyol

 

[blueduck]

Robinho gets paid more than any of our players. So if this list is based on wage, it's wrong.

 

[Lemmi]

zlatan needs to start earning this

 

[puta madrid]

44 Wayne Bridge (Manchester City, £4.3million)
29 Luca Toni (Roma, £4.8million)



not sure if rooney's is correct, and henry needs a pay cut NOW.
