Who is the highest paid city player?

Sat Apr 14, 2012 11:40 am

Anyone know? Just out of interest really, my guess is Kenny Miller but I could be wrong.

Secondly, who deserves to be? Super Kev :ayatollah:

King Kenny is rumoured to be on 25k, Earnie on 20k. Not sure about rest but they all earn good money.

No way Earnie is on 20k

I don't believe that either, Chopra was on 15k before he left so Earnie must be on less.

I thought I read on here that he was on that amount.

Im not being funny mate but if you think
Kevin McNaughton deserves to be City's highest paid player
you cant have been to many games this season.

I wouldnt even have him in the starting 11.

I've been been to plenty. It's clear that he's been adapting to a new, more attacking, role this season. He's even admitted he's finding it a challenge but he's enjoying it. I rate him highly as a fullback, he's consistent and makes some goal-saving challenges.

Who would you replace him with? Darcy 'Big Mac' Blake? Quinn? He's far better than them.

We refused to pay Bothroyd 15k a week to stay. So if Earnie's on 20K thats madness

Stick to the politics Ga you clearly know nothing about football.

Mark Hudson aka Captain Fantastic. No, sorry, I have to stop that.

:oops:

That's based on his interview from a few weeks ago, who would you prefer to see at right back?

Its a position we need to address in the summer if Malky is going to play attacking full backs.

That said Kevs defending hasnt been great this year either.

Yeah I admit he's not an attacking fullback. I think he deserves credit for playing in that style/system though.

Any ideas on signings?

Re: Who is the highest paid city player?

Earnie is on a reported 13k a week. Kenny on 25k.
IMO Hudson or Gunnar should be highest paid

Halford from Pompey maybe. Take advantage of their situation.

Or hopefully Malky can come up with a lower league gem.

If he plays like Liam "Lennie Lead Boots" Lawrence, they can keep him.

Do you rate Andrew Taylor or not?

Chops was on closer to 23k a week before he left

Not according to my Uncle, who was Chopra and Ledley's accountant :lol:

Chopra on 15 and Ledders on how much?

Chopra on 15 and Ledders on how much?


No idea, your guess is as good as mine.

Although there were lots of reports at the time he left that he wasn't on alot.

Come on, phone your uncle!

:lol:

Being Cardiff born and bred, myself, I was always proud that a Cardiffian was doing so well for us again. Phil Dwyer is one of my all-time CCFC heroes and is also a Cardiff boy. There haven't been many local boys, since I started supporting the club in 1976, who have played so well for us as Ledley and Dwyer have.

I was gutted when Ledley left and I feel that his departure - and that of certain others - was down to personality clashes or whatever with Dave Jones. In my opinion, if some of the players who left had remained with us, we'd have a much stronger squad now - even if it was only Bothroyd, Burke, Ledley and Matthews.

:lol:

I completely agree. I was most disappointed with Adam Matthew's departure, such a promising, young, welsh talent. Not given enough game time by Jones, so had little choice in reality. A real shame, and I'd sign him up in an instant.

Its all too easy to blame Jones chaps.

Ledley let his contract run down. He wanted a move. He wanted the money.

Cant blame him got to look after his family before his local football club.

I blame Jones for Matthews' departure.
