How the other half live According to today's News Of The World, former Coventry City forward Robbie Keane is the top paid player at his club.
The paper has produced a table of who is the highest paid player at each club in the Premier League and Robbie Keane, who is reported to earn £80k a week comes in eighth.
Yaya Toure of Manchester City, according to the paper is being paid a staggering £220k a week, followed by Manchester United's Wayne Rooney on £200k a week.
Other top club earners earning more than £100k a week are John Terry on £160k, Steven Gerrard on £140k and Cesc Fabregas on £110k
At the other end of the scale, Blackpool are reported as paying only £10k a week for DJ Campbell and Charlie Adams.
Thats crazy money to be paid when they whinge like little girls..... And the Nancy boys want a winter break...
It also makes me respect Blackpool players and lower league players that much more...
On top of that 200k a week Rooney earns Man Utd will also be paying for his little holiday to the USA because he can't face up to the consequences of his own actions. I don't like Man Utd but I still think Rooney is out of order messing a football club about into which a lot of fans pay a lot of money into. He is a very overrated player who has zero loyalty and is a money grabbing little **** to boot. Kind of annoyed me when he played against his boyhood team Everton for Man U he kissed the Man U badge infront of the Everton fans despite once claiming once a blue always a blue and after kissing Utd's badge he then screws the club around for more money... Rooney is everything that is wrong with football today.
