if you think paying butters every week is bad..

then spare a thought for Chelsea, no wonder pre- Mr A. they were so in debt, in summer of 2000 Chelsea sign Winston Bogarde on a free transfer from barcelona, on £42,000 a week, he is utter shite and has only started 2 games for them, and he is still there now. 42 grand for a reserve player, perhaps that was why Vialli was sacked

And nobody will buy him either after he got crippled

who by, dennis wise?

BUTTERS LOOKED SLIMMER AND FITTER AGAINST LEWES THE OTHER NIGHT, COULD WELL GET SOME MONEYS WORTH.

Bogarde hasn't even been given a squad number this season. That really is a waste of money - just over £2 million a year by my (piss-poor) maths to kick his heels in the reserves. If he had any professional pride he'd have looked for another club.

... If he had any professional pride he'd have looked for another club.

I accept your sentiments but I disagree. Football is a short career and given the choice I'd rather earn £42,000 a week for a few years as a Chelsea reserve than £5000 or whatever as a first-team players for a 1st division club. My professional pride would be satisfied by looking at my bank balance.
