West Ham side saying he's signed a deal for £60k a week PLUS 7 figure sign on. Surely there is no way that's anything like true? |  | | |  |

That sounds about right. |  |

Welcome to the Premier League, where players you’ve never heard of cost £40m, and kids who’ve barely kicked a ball earn 50k a week. | | | |

Versatile defender/midfielder, european and prem experience, only 24
60k a week is a bargain |  |

Can believe the sign on but the wages sound high. | |

On that basis what the hell are we paying Omari?! I can imagine a very hefty sign on bonus for Johnson, maybe £5m+, but that salary seems ridiculous. | | | |

Remember Brandon Williams, an occasional ManU player is on £60k a week, Eddie Nketiah, an occasional Arsenal player is apparently on £80k a week. That's the standard wage for occasional players, so you can assume Johnson is going to be on something similar at West Ham and thus us now. |  | | |

I'd imagine somewhere between 30-40 a week. | |

A quick Google search says that's about the average wage in the prem! Ridiculous numbers | | | |

I'd be surprised if the wages were that high, in Brentfords first season in the Prem they were averaging £30k p/w albeit inflation etc.
I can believe the sign on figure though. If he was under contract he would cost £8m-£10m easily. | | | |

OK..its costing us over 3 million in wages for him plus sign on fee .but we could easily pay 15 million maybe for someone similar who is under contract plus wages..so in general we have a reasonably cheap CB and versatile too... | | | |

Sounds about right.
How else do you think we’d get through the £100m+ we are due next year? |  | | |

He was allegedly on £20k a week at WHU but wanted £60k a week to sign a new deal. WHU weren’t prepared to pay him that much. Other teams were interested like Rangers but they baulked at his wage demands. He is on a free transfer so no fee means he can negotiate higher wages but not sure Town would pay £60k a week wages. I suspect it’s somewhere in between with a relegation clause meaning he has to take a pay cut if town are relegated.
Rumours are Hutchinson was on as little as £3k a week at Chelsea or as much as £14k depending on the source. | | | |

Sounds likely.
I think our fans are out of touch with PL finances. Compare our record transfer fee from 2001 with now. Wages have increased in a similar way. I doubt there are any established prem players on contracts of less that 30-40k a week.
This guy is young, and has PL experience and getting him on a free is always going to increase the wage you have to pay a little bit.
That’s why some players are happy to run down their contract if they know they have plenty of interest and want to move on.
I can’t imagine Omari’s contract is much less than 50k if at all. |  |

Especially as he’s not that good | |

That £5m might well be the signing on fee. Spread over five years that's around £18k pw on top of his salary which may well, be around the £40k pw mark. Keiffer is on £40k pw at Bournemouth. |  | | |

So? We're in the Prem now and if we want to sign Prem quality players we're going to have to pay the going rate. | |

Sounds exactly where I’d have guessed it to be. £15m player on a “free” essentially. | | | |
| Johnson and his salary.... on 08:53 - Jul 2 with 3217 views | OldFart71 |
Not bad really. So say he got 1.5 million signing on fee, then 60k a week =£3120000 x 4 =£12480000 or as near as damned 12.5 million so total outlay around 14 million. Added to the 18 million for Omari (I know there are add on's, but we don't know what they entail) so £32 million for two Premier League players. That's cheap. | | | |

Actually, I think Nelly has a point here.
Keeping the squad happy and together is critical, and will be so much harder now.
Whilst there has probably already been a wide range of what players were paid, it will now be crazy. Johnson could be on 3 or 4 times what Morsy or Chaplin is on (total guess at the multiples).
Bloody hard to manage this if any of the newbies are prats or don't click as players straight off - fingers crossed we continue to buy good-un's | | | |
