"Zidane"

Juve are having a laugh how did they con real into paying 48mil for zidane he is 29. That is 4 years top flight football Not worth 48 mil plus exorbitant wages I woul much rather have veron for half the price as he is better. I would only pay that kind of money for a player like totti who is younger and clearly better. I support Chelsea and I think that Veron was a great bargain and Zidane was a rip off. Out of interest how did they fund this transfer aren't they about 200 million in debt already or did they sort this out last year. Anyway what are your thoughts on Zidanes Transfer.

This is shocking, he cant be on 60K a week. nobody else in the team earns over 30K. does that 15m include a signing on fee? how da hell can lungberg be on higher wages than roy keane.

Also veron is gonna be earning double the wages of roy keane. 100k a week.

its all about supply and demand really. These people aint stupid.

When talking about the best players in the world Zidane, Figo and Rivaldo will always pop up but even in football term the money paid for Zidane is spectacularly stupid.

CJJ007's prediction on how Real will get their money back is flawed.

Number 1:
They, wouldn't get 15 mill for replica kit of just Zidane, the money is probably the whole team. It's been said that at most Zidane will bring back 5 mill. Think about it, other player's merchandise will fall as Zidane goes up, if you want a Real Madrid mug you'll by either Zidane or Figo, you wouldn't buy both just for the heck of it, well unless your a Real nut. (See what I done there?)

Number 2: How would they get 2 mill for friendlies? Even if they do, not all of it is for Zidane, they play friendlies anyway. Real Madrid is in demand anyhow, Zidane playing against the team is just a bonus. No extra money will come of this.

In general the money the win won't compensate for the whole team, if the win 50 mill from competitions not all of the 50 mill will be used for Zidane. They would be to buy new players, to pay the team wages, take care of the club, search for young talent, pay staff, look after the Bernabou standium blah blah blah.

It's going to end when I get £60,000 a week. NEVER!

Transfers and salaries are completely out of control. Zidane is a fine player but as the original poster said - he is 29 years old. He probably has 2 years left before he starts to decline.

I have just read today that Arsenal have agreed a new five year contract with Freddie Lungberg. The player will earn about £60k per week which equates to £15m over the five years. Freddie is a very good player and has been a useful squad player for Arsenal in recent years. However, he is not a 'top bracket' player and will struggle to hold a regular first team place next season.

A year or two back everyone was shocked that Roy Keane was to earn £50k per week playing for ManUtd. Arsenal are now paying that to a player who will probably spend much of next season on the subs bench.

Where's it going to end ?????

Players under 18 cannot move abroad.
Two transfer "windows" when all transfers take place (one in the summer one at Christmas players under 23 will have the price of their transfer decided by a panel. Players over 23 will move for half the value of their current contaact./ eg if a player has a 10 million pound contract remaining then his new club will pay 5 million for the player. Players over 18 have a lot of freedom to move. Clubs will be run mainly on trust and huge contracts to ensure players stay.

Result: Top players get richer small clubs get poorer as their young talented players are pirated away.

i'm not too sure about it exactly, but apparently there will be no transfer fees for players aged 24 or over. transfers will only be done at certain times in the season ( i think they will only be done in the summer).

Yeh uve said the new transerfer system is goin ahead , and i have heard of it . but do u no how it actually applies , can u explain the new rules .

yes the new transfer system will be implemented at the end of next season. So we probably will never see a player costin £100 million. But expect the wages to spiral higer and higer as the players become bigger then the clubs themselves.

I agree ,and aslo think that 48 million pounds for a player is ridikulus . That's nearly as much as a first division club could be worth (including players). And plus its another step towards the worse club moving futher and futher away from the smaller clubs . dont think zidane or any playeris worth that much. You could buy at least 2 or 3 quility players for that money . Although money is increasiin all the time .
Wats the new transfer system?
Is it definatly gunna happen?
Zidane aint woth 48 mil
