Eek That has to be wrong surely? Levy can't surely be paying Bent more than Berbatov, Keane, King and Woodgate.

I thought King, Keane and Woodgate were the highest payed, all on £60,000 with us.

I'm surprised at how low Cech is, considering he's so highly-rated, and at a club where all the other top stars are extremely highly paid.

Not that he's *that* far behind.

I thought Bent turned down £85k at West Ham and accepted £35k from us? At least that's what was reported at the time...

I'm not entirely sure where those figures came from. Didn't Bent turn down a higher salary at West Ham to come to us? I would have thought he on ~40k a week. I imagine our highest earners are Keane and King and they are on around 50k, 60k max.

No way is Bent on 125k/w, this report must have its figures wrong (maybe they meant MArcus Bent)

if it is true then its a compleate waste of cash to pay 16million and then that much on someone who is most likley to be 3rd pick most the time

Taking that figure as euros, it would mean that Bent is being paid ~£94,561 p/w, which as we all know is bullshit.

I wouldn't discount all the figures given but I think we can agree the one for Bent certainly doesn't reflect reality.
