*£10,000 per goal.
*£100,000 on qualifying for Europe.
*£150,000 for winning the Premier League.
*£200,000 for winning the Champions League.
*£75,000 for winning the FA Cup.
*£50,000 for winning the Carling Cup.

*Language lessons for him and family.
*Total relocation package. House, cars etc.
Slavery indeed.
