It’s not that Jimbo.The top players deserve to get a salary on par with their counterparts in Europe.Fabregas is one of the top players in England.Why shouldn’t he be paid around the same as them?Van Persie too is probably waiting for 1 good season,he too would demand a raise them.And it’s not that their just mercaneries either,you look at it this way:What if tommorow they get injured and their career is ended? What if tommorow the players need to start a multi-million dollar bussiness.Why should the likes of Raikonnen,Lebron James, and Tiger Woods be paid more than the likes of Ronaldo when ROnaldo is as good at his game as they are in theirs?Keep in mind,Football is easily the most popular game on the planet

While I sense what is behind Robin’s latest declaration I do feel that a man who has started so few games in the past few seasons could perhaps have kept his latest utterances between himself and the club. What good does it do to do otherwise? Getting by on 50 grand a week must be hard work these days.
