Darren Bent is believed to be on an annual salary of £4.5million, which works out at about £86,500 a week! Reportedly 19th highest in the league.

And just who the fuck are "kgbanswers" that make you think I should regard them as the font of all knowledge on footballer's salaries?

£20m on Cahill would be madness.  I'd rather go for yer man Johnson down at the Sty if they get relegated.

Made sure he gets his "RJ" tattoo removed first though.  Makes him look like a right pleb.

After last weekend and all the press reports about Cahill wanting to get one over the Villa, I seemed to get the impression that he doesn't want to come back here. If it would take 20 million I would leave it and go for a decent scandanavian defender, there has to be one out there.

I'd still take Samba as Blackburn could still easily go down.

I'm not convinced by Samba and he has just signed a big contract so he won't be cheap

Where do people get these wage figures from for individual players?

the 60k figure was reported widely when he joined and has been ever since. Could be a few grand either side of 60 i guess, but its in that ballpark

It was also widely reported that Darren Bent was on £90k/week whilst he was at Spurs.
yep it was nearer to £80k

It was nearer £30k

If I remember rightly at the time that story came from someone's blog and a "photocopy of players wages". With no actual source. As such it was soon discovered to be a load of bollocks. Especially when Tottenham, as a PLC, released their wage bill for that season. (Cue Villadawg...)

When he had his little rant on Twitter this was widely reported -

A club spokesman confirmed they will deal with it as "an internal matter" which usually means a fine of two weeks' wages, which in Bent's case would amount to around £100,000 although the club will not jeopardise the deal.

Now by my calculations, if he was being paid £86.5k a week, multiplying that by two does not equal "around £100,000".

Seriously CI - you are just making most of these figures up as you go along.

No thanks, he was abysmal in the two games against us.
I've never seen the lumbering bastard have a good game.

He reminds me of Eric Young sans headband.

Sky Sports

Rennes Goalie Nicholas Douchez, who's contract is up in the Summer, has turned us down apparently.

Wouldn't want Samba....., but wouldn't say no to Johnson and Foster should they become available, appreciate that may not be a popular choice.
