[King Binny]

According to the latest Football Leak, De Bryne's salary is lower than that of other Man City 'star' players (£115,000 per wk).

 

[Spionkop69]

You can't equate value for money or performing to a value when you see that little rat is earning £180k a week. I'm glad we got shot of him.

As for the rest? Meh, a few are that high due to reputation and transfer fee rather than ability.

Having said all of that, it's worrying/interesting to see our supposed highest paid player is one who struggles to make the bench and appears to be behind Origi in Klopp's pecking order.

 

[Spionkop69]

De Gea. The true definition of being worth 12 points a season as keeper and has been for a while.

 

[Ryan]

Are any of them worth it ?

Well depends on your definition of 'worth' I guess, but I'd argue about a third of them are earning their keep currently - and have been for a while.

Sanchez, Hazard, De Gea, Aguero, Ozil, Mata, etc.
