BBC reporting that Aaron Ramsey will earn £400k/week basic salary at Juventus. Been told it's actually around €7.5m net which works out to £250k/week.
As ever, can only go with what I'm told, but £250k/week sounds a hell of a lot more plausible. (If still rather high...)


Agents often tell the the wage a player is getting WITH signed on bonus fee plus extra fees.

I think it's standard practise to report basic salary as wages plus signing on fee.

But it's gonna be way more than £400k/w if you include appearance, goal, assist, win, trophy etc bonuses - I'm amazed pretty much every big European club was in for Ramsey, he genuinely wouldn't get into our first team.

Fantastic player on his day but for some reason Emery didn't see him in his plans.

Really going to miss him, was by far one of my favourite current players in the club, top professional.

True, he had one amazing season when he was scoring seemingly every week, he was one of the best central midfielders in the league that year, but He's a bit of a Welsh Gerrard for me - likes to do things by himself too much.

That's definitely a fault from him indeed. That being said, in our weak side it was often the case that he just had to.

Yikes.
