Alex McCarthy 0 PL games in 18 months
Worst PL players "stealing a living"?
- Thread starter Theafonis
- Start date
Different Premier League but Bobo Balde at Celtic stayed for a year after the club said he could go anywhere he wanted as no one was willing to match his salary at Celtic so he took a year of no games instead
This
He has been awful since he joined Everton. Doesn't look interested, over weight and the afro makes him look too casual for a centre half.
Rooney rewarded by huge contract because of what he did with us in the past, scored lot of goals and winning lot of trophies, him declining after is another matters
You mean lingard deserve getting 100k just because he trains hard & being local ? it's not like he is our top shirt seller anyway
i'd say lingard is worth only 10k p/w and 90k is stealing
As much as I think Lingard is meh, I wouldn’t say he’s stealing a living. It’s just how much they’re paid now. Aren’t Young, Smalling, Fellaini, Blind all on more?
I think most replied here don’t understand the concept of stealing a living.
Lingard is limited as a player, and not the most stylish attacker but he works hard for the team, even if it doesn’t come off well for him and the team always.
He is at most a squad player, and being utilised as such.

When we signed Young he was one of the best wingers in the league. Blind, Smalling and Fella earn less than Lingard - all are around 75-80k while Young is on 110-120k
Xhaka's performances should be filmed on CCTV.
though better yesterday - actually didn't look like a loan / guest from the Dog & Duck
and as an aside to earlier posts, Lingard's FA Cup winning goal was pretty good though, wasn't it? #JustSaying
Lingard. Utter shit and earning a fortune at one of the biggest clubs in football.
What does what Roney earned at United have to do with this thread, he's now stealing a living at Everton! Makes no difference as to what you think he should earn. Thread is about players who aren't making the effort, Jesse certainly doesn't fall into that catagory. But you're yet another one who brings him up as you don't like him.
Some of the shouts on here are stupid. There is a difference between overpaid (Lingard) and actually stealing a living. Look at Brad Jones for example, English career started in 2001 and moved away from UK in 2016 in that 15 years he made 71, yes just 71 appearances. That's 4.7 appearances a year for a whole career. Actually makes me a little angry how much he will have been paid in that time.
Lee Cattermole the season Sunderland got relegated was not even playing football, he put at least one murderous challenge every game and otherwise served nothing but to run around and be a game stopper.
Rooney
Pure idiocy....
Youth players get almist 10k
Where has being local got anything to do with it? He’s a first team squad player, that’s what they earn. Get over it
No, it's just the baleful influence of Garth Crooks at work.
A bunch of united fans showing themselves up here. Spoilt bastards
Darmian
Looks like what I said - yeah. Diame has much better highlight reels over the years playing for Wigan and West Ham at the same age as Bakayoko. That's how much I think of him. Can't quite believe they swapped Matic for him. It's incredible.
Young signed a new contract in 2015, though. Which is what he’s on now. Should’ve reduced a fair bit, but it didn’t. I’d have thought Fellaini would be on more than £100k, but he’s due to sign a new one anyway.
Musa for Leicester. One of the blokes at work is a Leicester fan and he apparently turned down a loan to Hull on the same wages to sit on the bench @ Leicester... I don't even think he makes the bench now.
Januzaj stole a living for years. Thought he could play with minimal effort! Nick Powell was also a special case. Anderson was terrible for a few years and luke Shaw now. Owen hargreaves was injured for years with us ... he may count as he just went off to city after we helped him recover.
I think Rooney is massively gaining, 150k a week? Cannot get into evertons relegation team! Doubt he is pushing himself to max. His body is old, that of a 60 year old!

This thread doesn't know what it wants to be - are we harshing footy players for being overpaid, being injured a lot of the time, not trying or being crap?
They're all overpaid - I don't see how that one helps, tbh.
Anichebe
Frank Sinclair
I don't mind Januzaj going in
Bendtner

Player's wiki says his net worth is around $3mio
This forum really is obsessed with how black players' hairstyles affect their performances.
Stuart Taylor
We at Saints know how to pick our reserve goalies!! Stuart Taylor well what can one say. In 18 years, he has played 76 games.
5 Champions League (surprisingly enough)
34 Premier League - the last being 4 games in 2012/13 and then before that 4 in 07/08
21 in the Champ
and the rest some rubbish somewhere or other. Quite why we have him, I do not know. Maybe he is more of a coach.
Mooy is a fan favourite at a hugely overachieving club.
He's never going to be the next Paul Scholes but the guy is a tenacious pest to Huddersfield's opponents.
Solomon Rondon, the guy has only scored 3 times in his last 33 appearances, a stat I saw today, I hadn't realized how bad he was -- insanely shit and can't even hold up a ball, missed a really good chance towards the end of the game against Spurs, poor awareness. I don't understand why West Brom haven't bothered with the striker position for the last 2 seasons, and its no wonder they struggle for goals.
Ashley Williams, has regressed insanely, is overweight and just conceded 5 goals to Italian side Atalanta.
Lovren, eh
Erik Lamela, plays in the U-23 league
Idrissa Gueye, how badly has he regressed? People were saying he's better than Kante
Juan Mata, I'd still take him back
Mohamed Diame and Joselu
Rondon has been playing under Toby Pulis his whole PL career except 1 game, which he scored in. We have no right to question the goalscoring record if anybody who’s been playing under a man who is the antithesis of attacking football.
Lamela has been injured. Do you even keep up with football?
Gueye is playing in a horrible Everton team in an unbalanced midfield. Still a good player and great at what he does. Was excellent against Arsenal (until he got himself sent-off that is).
Mata is hardly stealing a wage... still a very good player who’s just not in form, again part of a misfunctioning offence all together.
Oh no the idiot United fans have invaded the football forum
Artur Boruc whenever he plays. A surprise match fixing was never brought up, considering some of the howlers he has made.
I didn't notice. When he was at Swansea, he was the club captain always had a tight hair cut.
Now he plays and looks messy. He could be black, white, green, blue. . His skin colour has nothing do it.

Shane Long. A striker that's played at quite a few clubs now and hardly ever seems to score.
That douche who used to be think he was worth 20m plus who refused to play for his club on twitter when they wouldn't sell him, think he's at Stoke now. I can't even remember the guys name tbh - completely escaped my brain.

Berahino maybe?
I can't believe how slow this guy is.
No one is stealing a living, all players are obviously hard working professionals and deserve some respect to start with.
