REVEALED-Glen Johnson is the best paid fullback in the world
-
REVEALED: Liverpool handed Glen Johnson £139,000-a-week deal to beat off competition from Chelsea.
In the money: Glen Johnson signed a bumper contract at Liverpool.
It has emerged that Liverpool are paying Glen Johnson a staggering £139,000 a week. Eyebrows were raised when the Reds splashed out £17million on the Portsmouth right-back this summer but his salary will leave fans gobsmacked.
The sum must make him the best paid full back in the world - even after Chelsea defender Ashley Cole agreed a new £120,000-a-week deal to stay at Stamford Bridge.
Even Manchester City, who have spent an incredible £118million on players this summer, will pay latest signing Joleon Lescott only a reported £94,000 a week.
Spiralling wages in the Barclays Premier League have reached such a crazy level that Liverpool, so desperate to ensure Chelsea would not beat them for the signature of Johnson, were forced to offer a huge contract.

Siao............. Thats more than Gerrard

Best paid not not the best in quality...

uh? said before alr what

Food for thought:
Do soccer fans like to watch games which end in 0-0 because of fantastic world class defending from both sides' defenders?
Or do they like to watch games which end in 3-3 because of fantastic goal scoring feats from world class strikers?

Glen no need pay so much will also join Liverpool la.
He was a Chelsea reject. Hao ma bu che hun tou chao.
Liverpool was duped into paying so much wages for him to join him.

If you notice the current trend, people would rather see goals, be it win, lose or draw. A 0-0 match would generally become 'boring'.

I didn't know he was paid so much... I thought he got double his Portsmouth salary only from $40k to $80k per week... Who would have thought Pool could offer him almost $140k per week... Like that won't Gerrard and Torres Bo song right? Do so much and get lesser, then this guy come from no where get more than them... Even Torres new improved deal... Said to be around $120k per week I think...
